Rewind - I only want to listen to you sleep
Do you dream of places close to me?
I don't know how to make this right

I never thought I'd ever breath so tight
Confusing, the issues underneath
I don't know how to find this place

Locked in a box inside a cage far away
Singing songs for rainy days
And I want to tell you

But words so clumsy are not my friends
They starve these thoughts when they begin
And I still need you to know

But my lips are tightly holding back
The sentiment inside is lying trapped
Higher, higher than the skies above

And deeper than the cells within
I love you more than these
And I love you more than they

Three splinters hide below this shell
Where yesterday provided me this hell
And left me, lifeless, empty

And you're asking for more than I can give
But it takes so much air for us to live
Completely, I understate my haunted dreams

I really don't want to sleep just yet -
I think about this... as I lie in bed
Let me forget, the color of my death

I know it's not fair to live this way
Still I've said about as much as I can say
And I would, take it all back if I could...
