Breathless sleeper

Breathless sleeper

I can feel the difference

the air is thin

like before the storm is about to begin

I'm ready to duck for cover

or just call it quits

I'm telling you everything

spilling my soul

but all you seem to hear

is nothing at all

I'm sorry over and over again

this was not the way i pictured it

i just don't want to make those mistakes again

but they rewound and came back like karma

reversed roles

i got what i gave

and I'm the pedestrian lying on the street

while the world revolves past

and they just forget me

like a breathless sleeper

I open my eyes trying to see

but the fog in my mind

and the tears staining my eyes

keep me blind

My lips form sentences

but they disconnect on the way out

this miscommunication is killing me

talk is cheap

i could by all your words for a penny

darkness is so serene

id stay here forever

just concentrate on breathing

the pulse quickened and died

the flame is now a flicker

I'm left feeling more alive

id call the medic

but i see you fading

your to late for saving

were to late for saving

a reincarnation

from ashes

to love

to ashes again

tell me Ive got it all wrong?

please.

break the silence

because I'm just dreaming

tell me its just a nightmare.
