ThouShaltNot - Count to Ten lyrics

You'll hold your breath and count You'll stop at ten And then need to do it over again But don't bite your tongue Come on tell me, tell what I already know 'Cause we're not strangers Who'd sell our beloved discomfort for petty gold And nothing changes in Hell Its mouth is open, its eyes are closed Its claws are lashing and its rage exposed And I wait for you to revive my ghost from where I fell Where there is sound, there's life Sometimes I act like this To hear your shrieking prove that you exist If you ran the world We'd all be strapped in white jackets for feeling at all But what you've got Is just your black mortar, one way gla**, brick and serenity wall And because I'm not on your side, I'm a trap My jaws are open, my ears are closed I'm poised and still, but ready to explode But it's not like that I promise there's no code And no secrets to unwrap You can't hold your breath forever Beneath the shelter of the sky 'Cause my reflection in your water Will break the surface tension you've been swearing by This is a different world with every frame of time And time can see the living stillness you create When you stop counting and you breathe Your mouth is open, your eyes are closed Your hands are trembling and your teardrops flow And the moment rises to find us both, and it never leaves
