The gla** has shattered
We watch as the shards hit the floor
Ignoring open slices in our hands
We sweep the crimson stained shards under the rug
Filling the wounds with splinters in the process
Blood poured forth that proves a pulse
But that too we will sweep under the rug
Tongues are bleeding through our silence and we all bite harder
Do you care to cut a rug with me, before the rug cuts us all?
Let's talk this out; you are not alone
These arms are extended where arms should have been
And there we lay
Broken, bruised, and bleeding
Ripped across the floor
Silence slicing through
As teeth cut through tongues of stone...
And these nights
I watched as you lay dying
With these hands they tied so tight
These scars they carved inside of you
As columns crumbled and hearts collapsed
(This house is haunted
This roof is caving in.)
...And when I closed my eyes
I still see it all
(That house is still haunting me.)
Every second, every word
Screaming, crying, pleading
But always said I'm silent
Always said I'm secret
(That house is still tearing me in two...)
I would have given you my life
But I couldn't give you words
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
These tongues bled where words should have been
Hearts stood still where beats should have been
Emptiness ached where arms should have been
Hearts are failing where life and love should be at their strongest...
Within the arms of one another
