Deathbeds

Eyes like a car crash
I know I shouldn’t look, but i can’t turn away.
Body like a whiplash
Salt my wounds but I can’t heal the way
I feel about you.

I watch you like a hawk
I watch you like I’m going to tear you limb from limb
Will the hunger ever stop?
Can we simply starve this sin

That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights I meet my fate
Don’t try to fight the storm
You’ll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you

Deathbed, and all I see is you
The life may leave my lungs
But my heart will stay with you

That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence I disappear
Don’t try to fight the storm
You’ll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you

The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you

That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence I disappear
Don’t try to fight the storm
You’ll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you

That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights I meet my fate
Don’t try to fight the storm
You’ll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
