Unraveled

Nail down the lid of this coffin
No I don't want to kiss her face
Twenty years underground, it was lowered
Lit a smoke and thought, What a waste
I worked all this time with her weakness
We lit fires in the town with her eyes
You destroyed her, six feet below she went down
Everything I was just died
We all just die
In the end we're all lies

We made love in the dark for an era
But love won with the lights on
Now I look for love in the ceiling
Threw my old self out like a pawn
When you're with me, whispers echo
When you're gone, the silence is loud
Lost a game of chess to the ticking clock
Lost the sight of my face in the crowd
We're lost in the crowd
In the end we're all proud

I can't sing for you
Without my soul coming out too
I can't burn for you
Without shedding some tears

You found a loose string in my body
You never meant, I know, I know
You pulled the loose string through my spirit
I unraveled in a cheap little show
Did you want me before you knew me?
Do you feel like you know me at all?
Broken open, I'm scared of you looking inside
And finding nothing you want
Behind these walls

I couldn't die for you
Without becoming something new
I hope you find something
You want to keep in here
