She spends these nights standing at the end of a cliff
Nervously pacing
Preaching the rhetoric
Gospel of petty things
To ignorant to battle with her crumbling mental state
Heartbeat this just isn't me
God knows she's coming 'round the bend
He spends each day digging deeper a hole in the ground
Transfixed on
Sad truths in melodies
Same simple running themes
Fear of the buried things deep in his bloodstream
Heartbeat
Is this part of me
It's simple to walk off and play pretend
All is just fine
Lately
I've been a fool
Shot off my mouth again
Now the walls are caving in
Darling
You tighten the noose
On all the little things
That let me breathe without you
Passing time is a bearer of bad news and cryptic messages
Defying the rhetoric
Gospel of empty things
Afraid of the violence that hides in my bloodstream
Heartbeat is this part of me
God knows I'm coming 'round the bend
Man your guns for a long night
Tilting at windmills for the last time
It's simple to walk off
Put your head in the sand
All is just fine
Lately
I've been a fool
Shot off my mouth again
Now the walls are caving in
Darling
You tighten the noose
On all the little things
That let me breathe with out you
That let me breathe with out you
