Close your eyes, pretend you're somewhere else That's what you get for keeping it inside Every day it gets a little worse You wasted every chance you got You thought a diamond grew inside Turns out it was just another stone And cold, it drags you under Sinking by your device to stay afloat Reaching out as far as my arms go I'll tell you I've got you but I know that I can't reach that far
You crane your neck around I walked in to see you smile And in the half a second when it goes You try as quickly as you can To come up with the fastest way to say "Look out behind you" But lo, the tide, it dragged me under And only choking yelps were coming out And all it takes to make the noise that we're used to Takes you to realize there is nothing you can do
Close your eyes, pretend you're somewhere else You feel this time it's not the same And when you think that things have finally changed You realize what a fool you've been And just like your father to ask your forgiveness And just like the monster to bait your affection Just like your mother to slip through your memory Our paths are decided from miles and miles away
What does your heart do when I am near you? Does it remember what other hearts sound like? Pounding and gushing, a venom, a poison It's lethal, it's fatal, and still you will trust it as a cure
