Her Tongue Was Tattooed To The Back Of Her Teeth

And every moment I lose without you
 Fighting interference between my mind and the tip of my tongue
 I am lost
 Tripping over my words, over insanity
 Racking my every thought
 Drowning this conviction behind an apathetic mask
 A numberless cigarette lit twixt my fingers
 Burning like the fire that beauty held in your eyes
 Piercing me like a conscience
 Shattering the glass of memory reflecting my imperfections
 Smoldering bridges sinking behind me in hopes for a second chance
 So embrace me, dreams, for you are mine
 Awake to a whirlwind staying swift through my fingers, my dream of you was all I had
 So give me a heart where I can't feel
 For all I need in my life is that which eludes me
 That which I let get away, remaining a haunting thought of what could have been
 Can you feel my beating heart?
 Buried beneath the backyard (The place we used to live)
 Where we stood on our own (We were rooted in this home)
 Where we exhaled our last breath (And watched the summer fade to blackness)
 We held our hands tight and spoke softly of the distance
 As to which our hearts were to lie
 And the night kissed us softly on the cheek and we each
 The trees bowed before our knees as to exact the point of growing fond of the memories we would never let die
 Can you feel me? (My beating heart?)
 Buried beneath the backyard (The place we used to live)
 Where we stood on our own (We were rooted in this home)
 Where we exhaled our last breath (And watched the summer fade to blackness)
 I will let you go, if you want me to
 I will let you go, if you want me to
 I will let you go, if you want me to
 I will let you go, if you want me to
 I will let you go, if you want me to
