Rewind, I only want to listen to you sleep
Do you dream of places close to me?
I don't know how to make this right
I never thought I'd ever breathe so tight
Confusing, the issues underneath
I don't know how to find this place
locked in a box inside a cage far away,
Singing songs for rainy days
And I want to tell you
But words so clumsy are not my friends
They starve these thoughts when they begin
And I still need you to know
But my lips are tightly holding back
The sentiment inside is lying trapped
Higher, higher than the skies above
And deeper than the cells within

I love you more than these
And I love you more than they
Three splinters hide below this shell
Where yesterday provided me this hell
And left me, lifeless, empty
And you're asking for more than I can give
But it takes so much air for us to live
Completely, I understate my haunted dreams
I really don't want to sleep just yet,
I think about thisas I lie in bed
Let me forget, the color of my death
I know it's not fair to live this way
Still I've said about as much as I can say
And I would, take it all back if I could...
