Scenic Route

Heavy hearts shield heavy heads
Let's take the scenic route
Branches around your feet, will you even try to struggle free?
With vines around my neck, I can't say much more
A grasp out of reach, fingertips stretched to feel your palm
Take your hand away
You're smothered in the branches
I can hear your breathing but your heart couldn't be more dead
I can remember your kiss but your lips don't taste so sweet
Close the door on this

Cold eyes silence cold fears
I couldn't be more wrong, too far gone to retrace
I wouldn't let this route slow us down
But I don't hold the map
Your foot prints lay so delicate
Each outline incomplete
These branches wrapped around my wrists
Will you struggle to break me free?
