Eyes go shut
I dissipate
Into thin air leaving no trace
Distant voice
Not listening
Why don't you just save your breath?
All of your words feel like a jail
That blocks the sun and makes me stale
Not enough gold in all the world
So why have I surrendered
To your abusive ways
The cracks have opened up to the core
Is there anywhere to go from here now?
Sick with the lies consuming our souls
Give me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences
Here with you and my soul on display
Bite my tongue
Swallow the pain
A bit disturbed by these displays
Now we've got nothing to say
The silence growing deadly
So here we are drifting apart
Neither willing to drop their guard
Haven't we got something to say?
The distance growing deadly
From years and years of pain
The cracks go deeper than we can see
Let's take a good look at where we are now
Maybe the end's the start that we need
Give me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences
Here with you and my soul on display
Life is too precious to waste
