The Lovers

(i can hear you breathing)

i've slipped out of time again

leaving all of you behind

and i am free

to return to the place where i already am

and have always been

if i just really looked and allowed myself to see

the confusion is seducing me

warm perfect flowing

wide his eyes, summer, hypnotize

they see inside of me

hot / swollen skin / want me / take me

perfect embrace black and bloody

rotten and perfect

the center has moved on

and all that’s left is free

finally

finally

everyone seems to be asleep but me

take me

into the arms of the lovers

i am free

take me

into the arms of the lovers

oh i see you floating there

how could i ever hope to forget

always rearranging

this is those words are a lie, a mirror

reflecting in a mirror of a lie

a light shines, still, always

shadows in every word

beneath black eaves

please don’t leave me here

i could stop it

maybe i could stop it if i wanted to

but i'm not the one driving anymore

i know who i am

but i know who i am, right?

(please don’t leave me here with them)

take me

into the arms of the lovers

free me

into the arms of the lovers

into the arms of the lovers

please don’t leave me here

into the arms of the lovers

i am free

into the arms of the lovers
