'Why do tears come to your eyes,' she sighs
I can't think of any reason not to
I miss the rain on the rooftops,
the lonely sleepless nights
echoing through with solace
from the past gathering dust
And all i fear is what is to come,
to what i am heading full speed,
walking like a condemned man
down a paralyzed corridor
and i can't see what's down the hall
but it reeks of pain and regret

'Why do you feel the need to bleed,' she breathes
I can't think of any reason not to
I miss the warmth that was only in you
with breath on skin and eyes through eyes
being protected from snow outside
knowing that forever was not enough
and the lullaby of the highway always ends
and even the consolation prize is lost
and the frustration of never knowing
returns every night to inflict its wrath
The scars may have healed in vain
for the memory always stays

No matter how hard i try
Or how hard i deny
No matter how long i dance
i'll never get the chance
No matter how i sing
or how i pray
or how i live
or how i crave
it always stays
the same

I start to bleed
I start to cry
but this time
she doesn't ask why
