The wind sweeps across us
The light's begun to fade
Hot and damp on the outside
One-oh-four in the shade

Deep and sinking sunshine
Far beyond the mist
And now I wonder why and how
It got to be like this

You whisper the sweet words
And my heart begins to twitch
I feel the life within me
Something's flicked the switch

I gaze up at the starlight
Twinkling in the east
And wonder if you're lying
You're good at it, at least

Crickets chirp in the distance
Your hands play across my hair
Inside I know it's dying
Inside it isn't fair

I know the way you work
I know that look in your eyes
It's all a ploy to trick me
Now I can see your lies

But the sweet nothings that you whisper
With each shuddering sigh
Make me want just one more moment
Before I say goodbye

For the falseness that you offer
Seems so completely real
And in those moments I want you
To feel the way I feel

One last breath to keep you
A final soft caress from me
One last breath to taste you...
You're not at all what you used to be.
