Tell me why your heart beats faster, when you go to look, outside, to the open highway I see you try to chase the shadows, when they fade from sight, as if, to find out why they don't stay I know that I don't talk about her, but I feel that my hands are red, with the blood of a wilted flower Tell me why your heart beats slowly, when your fingers graze the walls, is it, that you sense they're hollow Do you feel a strange breeze blowing, is that what hurt your eyes, when, you opened up the window I know that I don't talk about her, but I feel that my hands are red, with the blood of a wilted flower Did we live like we're Russian dolls, inside of paper boxes, I don't know what to say, there's nothing left to say Tell me why your heart stops beating, when you look inside

Breathing softly, into my coffee I spilled it on a photograph and let it dry Now it’s faded, and I debated If it had always looked that way I can’t deny The man inside the mirror looks ugly My heart is playing tricks on my mind Too many days of walking on stones and broken glass A victim’s shoes should fit me just fine It’s always seeming, like I am dreaming So maybe all this guilt has just been misapplied If this affliction, is purely fiction Like throwing grains of salt into a demon’s eyes The man inside the mirror looks ugly My heart is playing tricks on my mind Too many days of walking on stones and broken glass A victim’s shoes should fit me just fine I don’t know why I feel sorry These people weep by my side The beast is waiting inside me On the other side, of this divide Breathing softly, into my coffee I’m not sure that it ever left my...

Was it all an ancient story Or maybe a dream I felt the sunlight overhead Always keeping me warm Disguising the impending storm I open my eyes and the veil disappears An engine constructed of weak rusted gears The smoke and the noise that obscure them from sight Make the driver think everything’s right I didn’t see how long I’d waited To be justified And paint a picture of this side That the world could see from above But I think that some call it love I open my eyes and the veil disappears An engine constructed of weak rusted gears The smoke and the noise that obscure them from sight Make the driver think everything’s right I just needed something to buttress the walls My thoughts were like soldiers storming the halls I just couldn’t handle this being alone So I knew I just couldn’t let go I guess I kept you as a bandage For wounds that just wouldn’t heal I broke at your going away It left them raw and exposed My secret that nobody knows
