lyrics

Why do I confuse the lines that I drew for you
The lines that keep me from using you
that keep me from myself
Why do hands grasp every treasure that they so desire
Afraid of losing their appetite
Afraid to wait

Why do I try to deserve your love
When clearly I can’t give you mine

Why do thoughts cling to my mind
And devour what’s pure
The subtlety’s gone and there’s not much more
for me to give away
Why does love easily get tainted with what we want
a rush of pleasure and can’t be stopped
But it’s gone before long

And why do I try to deserve your love
When clearly I can’t give you mine

We’ll shred to ruins this love of ours
I can feel the fall of the towers
Shaking the ground beneath where we stand
Oh and weakening the power of our hands
’Til we can’t hold on any longer

What does thirst teach us when it goes on unquenched
The poison is pouring from off my lips
and into your blood
What does pain show us with wounds open once again
Poison and blood come from open skin
Unable to heal

And why do I try to deserve your love
When clearly I can’t give you mine
