Crying Birds Still Sing

My eyes were melting
Couldn't fall asleep
Wondering why I kiss the same hands
The same hands that choke me
I'm begging and pleading
Asking above
From the wise words of a
Turtle dove

The only sign you fell in love is from the bruises of the shove

Look for a second
'Cause it feels a million years
I've known your touch and I know your smile
The smile that can't feel real
You say you can't hear me
But crying birds still sing
We're under the same moon and stars
Held by a red string

If the pain is proper medicine, then consider me healed

Swear I won't be alone
Fingers intertwined
But you couldn't promise which fingers
You held closer than mine
Running in circles
In a cornered room
Take my hand in a new light
If only I knew it was blue

I do and I bid adieu, these words stay two worlds apart
Two holes make one
Two holes in my soul
Too much to hold
Hold my breath, and
Pretend to fall
Pretend you fell for me
And fall asleep
