Can you see her too? I am frozen
Her words are silk. And I’m a brick
She said my hair looked pretty
I thought she was too busy to talk to me
Don’t you think she’s rude? She is flawless?
It’s so unfair she makes me stare
I said Good morning, Tia
She asked me How are you?
I told her I’m better, Tia
Now that I’m talking to you

Can you light my way? She is right there
And I am lost. She can help me out
She caught me in that trance
I thought my chance had passed
Don’t you think she knows she is flawless?
Her silver tiara says it’s nice to see you
I said Good morning Tia
She asked me Do you sing?
I said Your heart is mine, Tia
Now that I’m in your head

I can still smell the wine you made together when I was under your bed skirt
She showed up unannounced at your house on a Wednesday in lingerie
I can hear your whispers to her if I’m honest
Barely breathing in your closet

Your arms, they look like the perfect place to die
I don’t belong here, but if I walk out, she’ll see me, no doubt
Your heart, it looks like the perfect place to sleep
So soft when you’re around me, but they’ll think you’re the enemy

“Quiet” you say, with a finger to your lips
“Just you wait” with a smirk on your face
“Quiet” you say, but you don’t have a clue how much I love

I can still smell her favorite candle you bought her
TIghtly tucked in your armoire
She showed up with a present too, a stand for your favorite hat
I bought you that

Your arms, they look like the perfect place to die
I don’t belong here, but I can’t leave. She’ll surely see me
Your heart, it looks like the perfect place to sleep
So deep in yourself, I’ll live if I can’t breathe

“Quiet” you say, with a finger to your lips
Swallow my truth, but the truth is that I’m saving it
“Quiet” you say, but you don’t have a clue how much I love you

Your arms, they look like the perfect place to die
I’m alive but exposed in this illicit lie
Your heart, it looks like the perfect place to live
But she forgives, and I step back, regretful and stupid

“Quiet” you say to her, a finger to your lips
You don’t even know how much and little you give
“Quiet” you say, but you don’t know what to do
when someone loves you

How can I stop?
Take this green and wash me out

How can I win?
Take this green and turn it inside out

How can it be?
Take this green and set me free

How can I save it?
Take this green and keep it

It’s killing me
This ecstasy

How can I win?
Take this green and turn me in

How can I live?
Take this green and teach me to give

You’re slowly sinking in
I can feel your breath on my neck
Your voice is fading out
I can hear your sigh as you come around

Every now and then
I think it might be okay if one more time I give in
If one round more leads to banging on the door
I suppose it’s better than there being a hole in the wall

You’re quickly losing it a second time
I hear your curses so clearly
My vision is blurry
I’m glad you can’t see me
‘Cause you might get stirred up and break things

More than twice in a week
You come home angry to me
I hope it makes you complete, one round more
And if one round more leads to banging on the door
I suppose it’s better than there being a hole in the wall

If one round more leads to me not sleeping on the floor
I suppose it’s better than there

Oh, I hear you
Let me be
And I need to escape from me

Nights go by Nobody knows which novels belong to the knights
The rockabye
Pace in my presence and I will put up no fight

Can you hear me now?
I’ve got all my life figured out
And I don’t need you

I should stake you
You choose how
Quiet rumble
Two faced clown

You sculpt a sculptor
You fake your answer

Fight heals me
I shut your mouth with my insides out
You love your mistakes

Can you hear me now?
I’ve got nothing at all figured out
And I don’t need you

Sights flow by
My mind is made up but I can’t decide
And I light the candle eye
Try to justify

Oh, I hear you
Let me be
And my life, too
You don’t deserve me
