Pulse

(C) E. Edwards, January 2015

Pulse

 

Can you hear my cries?

Can you see my eyes?

Can you feel my heartbeat?

Can you feel my pulse bleed?

 

The strains of my breath in my broken waiting,

For you to come out and cradle me like you'd love me.

I'm much too young, but I'm old enough to know what you are;

A far cry from the innocence I once took to heart.

Keep me on my toes, my eyes in desperate paradise.

Keep my attention in effortless trying times.

Maybe if I'm lucky, you'll find yourself alone.

So tonight, I will follow you home.

 

I want you! All of you!

Fascinations and the hope you bear!

I want to melt into the colours of your home!

To sleep where I should not be there!

 

CHORUS:

Out of the clouding darkness, I will rise,

(And take you down with me).

I have been waiting not to let this run away with clockwork.

I will despise the world as you know I do to have my way with it.

I need to see you begging,

I need you to see me perfect.

 

It's been so long, it's sickening and out of my sanity.

Nothing that I'll ever do could be so soul-destroying.

But I haven't played by the rules since I've played by you.

And tonight, God knows what I'll do.

 

I want you! All of you!

Fascinations and the hope you bear!

I want to melt into the colours of your home!

To sleep where I should not be there!

 

CHORUS

 

Can you hear my cries?

Can you see my eyes?

Can you feel my heartbeat?

Can you feel my pulse bleed?

 

Can you hear my cries?

("I want you. All of you.")

Can you see my eyes?

("Fascinations and the hope you bear.")

Can you feel my heartbeat?

("I want to melt into the colours of your home.")

Can you feel my pulse bleed?

("To sleep where I should not be there.”)

 

Can you hear my cries?

(I want you! All of you!)

Can you see my eyes?

(Fascinations and the hope you bear!)

Can you feel my heartbeat?

(I want to melt into the colours of your home!)

Can you feel my pulse bleed?

(To sleep where I should not be there!)

 

CHORUS
