Glass Breaths

Left the porch light burning just to watch the moths collide

Counted every quiet breath I tried so hard to hide

Your shadow's painted on the floor,

a ghost I can't erase

I'm tracing cold outlines of a forgotten time and place

And the rain

hits the window pane Like a thousand tiny needles calling out my

name

I'm pulling at the threads,

watching us unravel...

I'm drowning in the quiet that you left behind!

Chasing down the memories I locked inside my mind!

And every time I try to breathe,

the air turns into glass— (aaaahh)

HOW LONG IS THIS SUPPOSED TO LAST?!

Scraped knuckles on the drywall,

writing letters in the dark Trying to reignite a fire that started

from a spark

You said that time would heal the wound,

but time just leaves a scar

I'm staring at the ceiling wondering where the hell you are And

the silence is getting loud I'm suffocating underneath this heavy,

velvet cloud

I'm pulling at the threads,

watching us unravel...

I'm drowning in the quiet that you left behind!

Chasing down the memories I locked inside my mind!

And every time I try to breathe,

the air turns into glass— (aaaahh) HOW LONG IS THIS SUPPOSED TO

LAST?! (shhh)

(can't

feel a thing)

(you left me)

YOU LEFT ME IN THE DARK!

(tore away the fabric) AND RIPPED MY WORLD APART!

I'm drowning in the quiet that you left behind!

Chasing down the memories I locked inside my mind!

And every time I try to breathe,

the air turns into glass— (aaaahh) HOW LONG IS THIS SUPPOSED TO

LAST?!

(left the porch light burning)

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT OF ME!
