we
are starving
and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs
the only dream
i can remember...
i'm facing you.
we closed our eyes
and took off our shoes.
i ran my hand along your spine
and flushed the poison rotting in mine.
so its up the stairs
and to the right,
i see wasted hours
i feel that night.
pinned down to the floor,
my pride in hand.
i fought and fought,
my dignity and...
the beauty that neglects my feelings
hangs from my bedroom ceiling.
this love we speak cries one is fleeting,
my masochistic form of healing
we
are starving
and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs
when it wasnt fun,
we pretended like it was.
five steps behind a broken track,
i struggled just because.
the weight of our time
hangs down past my chin.
my hair is so long my dear,
i'm getting quite thin.
and so i pull the light
from a single cloud.
i defended your name,
i swore by it aloud.
what did you do. (you are what i need,
what did you do. but not quite yet)
you saved face,
and left it to me to pull through.
we are starving and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs
i am sheltered,
i am cold.
i fell for love
and a story told.
under this early summer's tree,
i feel a chill come over me..
and i lay my back onto the ground
with open arms for the second round.
we are starving and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs
i am sheltered
i am cold
i fell for love
i fell for love
i fell for you
i fell for you
