Strung by vein to running mouth,   your whispers are the catalyst    Somebody please breath lies,   my blood's not thick enough    I can't hear my heartbeat    when you shut up still waiting for last rites    Still waiting on a goodbye kiss to sever the dead flesh    and walk away a part of you    Please don't tell me you're useless with threaded lips    My hands went numb to feel like you    I should have known you were no angel by the way you said my name    I'm running out of perfect moments    I've grown tired of clotting the blood    To whom it may concern, you'll never keep my scars from healing    You'll never leave my bridges burning    Consciousness comes and goes,   like the routine of three lost words    Lovers lay dead, and when you're bound and gagged    I defy you to define me,   it's the only way to feel like I'm still breathing    I long for fresh air, cleansed of sedition    The waters listen closer that I tell them everything    then take a deep breath
