Perfect morning greets my eyes
Can't tell / don't care you're in disguise
We build our walls so high
We can't see if the sun does shine
We build our walls of stone
We can't tell if the wind blows
But you are tunneling chip away structural integrity
Knowing that you care is what I fear will tear me up and down
In your eyes there's a light it tempts me to compromise my defense
My fortress of self pres- ervation is crumbling around me
Blessing or curse I can't decide
Who you are lying here beside
We build our walls so high
That we can't ever hope to climb
We build our walls of stones
Imprisoned desperate, alone
But you are tunneling chip away structural integrity
Knowing that you care is what I fear will tear me up and down
In your eyes there's a light it tempts me to compromise my defense
My fortress of self pres- ervation is crumbling around me
Between my heart and my head and my hand
I have no idea what to do with you
In darkness I'm waiting, my heart dissipating
And you're all I'd ever want
Architect divine, yet faceless
Designing this perfect hell
…this perfect hell
But you are tunneling chip away structural integrity
Knowing that you care is what I fear will tear me up and down
In your eyes there's a light it tempts me to compromise my defense
My fortress of self pres- ervation is crumbling around me
Between my heart and my head and my hand
I have no idea what to do with you
In darkness I'm waiting, my heart dissipating
And you're all I'd ever want
(Sacrificing all I'd ever want)
Self-sacrifice Pain
Preservation Fear
Deprivation Love (love)
Deconstruction No (no)
Between my heart and my head and my hand
I have no idea what to do with you
In darkness I'm waiting, my heart dissipating
And you're all I'd ever want
(Sacrificing all I'd ever want)
