i've come to a realization
that my tounge isn't helping this
your voice only makes it worse
when i'm starved for your goodnight

when the ones you love
are slipping slowly out of place
and ever inch of skin will bare
every scar that you could tear
every transgression is seeping infection
but i know that this is hardly over
and i know that i could only hope for the best
but rest assure that in my chest
resides the blackest heart
we need warmer nights to feel alive
and spill our entrails to the floor
without a tounge i'm choking on
the selfish words that come

rooms of silence screaming out decay

but i know that this is hardly over
and i know that i could only hope for the best
but rest assure that in my chest
resides the blackest heart
we need warmer nights to feel alive
and spill our entrails to the floor
without a tounge i'm choking on
the selfish words that come
to fill my mouth and...
