Your lips on my back warm me more than the furnace
my nerve endings firing synaptically scream keep burning me up
and fill me with third degree memories
of when our bed was a sanctuary
where dreams and reality were seamless it seemed
awoken I choke on these sunbeams and draw the sheets
Your fingers in my hair they tear at my consciousness
I know that I want this like snow wants the frigid cold
Hold me and pretend endings are situational
Place us embracing within a distance of inches
and kiss me like we're frivolously trying to fix this
Hold me, this cold heart is better than freezing
A bitter warmth keeps me from leaving or reluctantly easing
into a state I hesitate to see myself through
Despite everything I still can't live without you
I'm filled with a sickness with no known prescriptions
shaky and anxious - with cold sweats it's dangerous
I'm wide awake dreaming
I'm healed up but bleeding
I'm wide awake screaming
I'm still but can't shake the feeling
I'm coming but going
I'm empty but overflowing
Concealed yet I'm showing
I'm not cool without you
I'm wide awake dreaming
I'm healed up but bleeding
I'm wide awake screaming
I'm still but can't shake the feeling
I'm coming but going
I'm empty but overflowing
Concealed yet I'm showing
I'm not cool without you
