THEREFORE I AM LYRICS

"Empire"

And here we are again, buried in my sheets

Your fingers are whispers saying the softest things to every inch of my skin

And even asleep these eyes of yours seem to keep me on my toes

They just swallow me whole and this gift you left for me

Is one to put me to sleep in such a way that I would never want to wake again

Cause we're so good at what we do

With our arms crossed and our fingers locked we work like perfect puzzle pieces

Cut right and formed to fit

But it's so different when I know you've gone

So take me quietly and I'll leave this body behind me

Oh these rhythms of mine are so inconsistent anyway

Just one gasp and I'll be gone

I don't ever want to wake again

So leave the lights off tonight

And I'll use this air as rope to drag myself up through my throat

Cause I get so caught

I get so choked up anyway with any thought of you

Those looks you throw they level me
