Half Life

I see your lips are the staircase to your soul
Now you’re fighting your feelings
And fearing the shame that you sold
All the times that I blindly followed yo
Can’t believe that I never saw the truth
I don’t know what to do

You locked your arms around my mouth
I don’t know what to do, I think I’m turning
Blue I scream and shout, tear my lungs out
I don’t know what to do, I can’t get over you
They tell you what you want to hear to feed
The attention you hold so dear tread lightly
Across these lines playing again and again in my mind

There’s a painful progress building you up
Stone by stone there’s a certain satisfaction
I watching you fall from your throne so pardon me
Avoid the possibility of unraveling the patchwork in the way that you think
Why can’t I see the truth? I don’t know what to do
You locked your arms around my mouth I don’t know
What to do, I think I’m turning blue I scream and shout
Tear my lungs out I don’t know what to do, I can’t get over you

I’ll sleep peacefully knowing I pierced your skin despite
All your walls I still found my way in
I’m not another fall out, boy did we try I may be
A notch in your bedpost but your life is a lie
Why can’t I see the truth? I don’t know what to do
You locked your arms around my mouth
I don’t know what to do, I think I’m turning blue
I scream and shout, tear my lungs out I don’t know
What to do, I can’t get over you

Oh no, I don’t know what to do and I, I can’t get over you
I’ll tell you what you need to hear so close your lips
And listen, dear I think it’s time that I said goodbye
Play it again and again in your mind
