For as long as I can remember I have wanted to

Silence every beating heart; every sound of breathing

Now there is something inside of me that aches as I hear you

Breathing here when you sleep between these morning sheets



I am the tears in your mouth

I am the weight on your shoulder

I am the scream that wants out

And my heart just couldn't grow colder

Now this rusty heart is my gift

This fallen love is my gift



Morning arrives on an Earth I've never seen before

Revealing a life that I never really understood

Strange, the way beauty can hurt the unopened eye

Much more than all of the filth and pain

That we're soaked in ever could



I am the tears in your mouth

I am the weight on your shoulder

I am the scream that wants out

And my heart just couldn't grow colder



Hear this voice, see this man standing before you

I'm just a child trapped inside the body of a man



"A relation, so oddly old - bred not to love

Suffers the beaten grounds of Idioglossia

We talk but we do not speak

Together only in our incapability to leave this fallen playground

We rule this Empire merely with these few crippled toys

Rust in our faces

This is what we can share - this is all we can lose

Still

Furiously we will linger to it with our lives

Cling to its rust and pains

Barefoot and torn

Bred not but born to love"



Hear this voice, see this man standing before you

I'm just a child trapped inside this fallen man

See this child
