Perish The Thought

Express love through a decaying cavity
Your ribcage is water-logged
Your heart is drowning now
You rip yourself apart
For fear of suffocation
All life signs point to failing now

Your words flooding my mouth
Spit them up, never cared much for the taste of you
Sleepless nights are out of the question
Rest up, we'll be back on the road here soon
Rest up, no time for what-ifs

For every hushed whisper
You hold the lock and key
Shine a light, shine your light through me
A doe-eyed expression, caught in the headlights
I've lost all sight of you

When the day has dawned
On all your sleepless nights
I hope you've said your prayers
I hope you see
That I am
I am the one that haunts you

My words filtered through your mouth
Spit them out, never cared to let you take the credit
Get your own mind, find your own thoughts
My words filtered through your mouth
Spit them out, never cared to let you steal what makes me
My words make me who I am

For every hushed whisper
You hold the lock and key
Shine a light, shine your light through me
A doe-eyed expression, caught in the headlights
I've lost all sight of you

I am the chest wound that you fear
I am the emptiness that you don't want to feel
Can you feel me?
Do your best to bring me peace
You can't heal me
Do your best to bring me life
You can't make this real

For every hushed whisper
You hold the lock and key
Shine a light, shine your light through me
A doe-eyed expression, caught in the headlights
I've lost all sight of you

Lights out

Take a look, take a light
And shine it bright for you to reflect
On all the messages left spelled out
In scars behind your eyelids
Take some time to see things through
Before they let go
And see right through you
Take your chances on anything
Because that's all you've got to give
