ll I breathe is all I offer Take it at it’s best But I can’t hold my breath much longer It’s poisoning my chest I tried to steal the secrets from your head But I got locked inside instead If I could rest instead of wonder I’d lay down with the dead Deep as the sky that I’d sleep under The ground would be my bed I can feel her eyes watching over me I’m running through the night Thoughts that were once Words to be heard that grew heavy and sunk Were left to die inside but now they rise I’m coughing them up Like smoke that has clouded the top of my lungs Drift and disappear into the quiet of the night What you’ve said to me is no more Your cold tongue lays still A serpent sleeping behind closed doors Gathering venom for the kill How slowly the doors are opening for me So close the windows tearfully Thoughts that were once Words to be heard that grew heavy and sunk Were left to die inside but now they rise I’m coughing them up Like smoke that has clouded the top of my lungs Drift and disappear into the quiet of the night Pry open my eyes to make sure I can’t see They’re white now, looking back, betrayed by memory Thoughts that were once Words to be heard that grew heavy and sunk Were left to die inside but now they rise I’m coughing them up Like smoke that has clouded the top of my lungs Drift and disappear into the quiet of the night
