I'm biting the inside of my mouth to make sure I'm still alive
but I'm numb to the pain. so am I?
when I speak my words are ignored or freeze over
and lately I've been suffocating to breathe
can someone explain that to me?
on the coldest nights when blankets aren't enough
I wrap myself in thoughts of you
because it's all I can do anymore
all I know is there's not enough strength in these bones to persuade my heart to keep beating after you leaving
now I breathe in sighs as a compromise with your ocean eyes for one fucking last try
don't you dare say a word
let the silence stay
just let the silence stay
put your finger tip to my lips so I'm not afraid
somehow we'll stomach this decay together
