It does...

I am...

slipping through your sovereignty

devouring your will to be...

something more than you can see

why can't I... just leave you be

you came...

you know why

you seem to know how

when the world defies all logic

you find your place to call home

 

it does

because it can

and it will

as long as you let it

destroy

who you are

in my words

a defense mechanism

when we're headed for this cataclysm...

 

I have

because I did

break into the life we live

I won't

stand still

and watch our world fall down around our feet

 

So I

die a little each time

we settle with mad goodbyes

I know I called but I needed to hear you say...

 

it does

because it can

and it will

as long as you let it

destroy

who you are

in my words

a defense mechanism

when we're headed for a cataclysm

this time...

 

I lack the words to say

the meaning to the curls in your hair

the feeling of your stare

it leaves me bare

I want you to know

we have no place to go from here

but I keep you near

you are my true comfort...
