Paroles de Dagger

Seeking shelter form the sharpened dagger words of one another I feel the cadence of your beating heart Dig your nails into my flesh And direct me to the truth as I digress Paralyzed by every syllable that stitch my lips together Tie my limbs around my throat And watch me disappear But can we both go back To the way things were before I fell Before you wish my soul farewell I wish I were a better man, for you I hope I prove I can Lift myself up and get this right I’ll work my fingers to the bone I feel you slip away I feel you slipping I feel you slipping I feel you slipping Four crescent moons engraved in my palms From all the time spent lifting me up above the flames When I press my palms into my eyes I sometimes see right through them Forgive me for my absence For I have grown transparent After hell I didn’t know where we’d be But you’re still here standing next to me I think I’ve finally figured it out For you I’ll work my fingers to the bone
