Eyes go shut
I dissipate 
Into thin air leaving no trace 
Distant voice 
Not listening 
Why don't you just save your breath? 

All of your words feel like a jail 
That blocks the sun and makes me stale 
Not enough gold in all the world
So why have I surrendered 

To your abusive ways
The cracks have opened up to the core 
Is there anywhere to go from here now? 
Sick with the lies consuming our souls 

Give me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say 
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences 
Here with you and my soul on display 

Bite my tongue
Swallow the pain 
bit disturbed by these displays 
Now we've got nothing to say
The silence growing deadly 

So here we are drifting apart
Neither willing to drop their guard 
Haven't we got something to say? 
The distance growing deadly 

From years and years of pain 
The cracks go deeper than we can see 
Let's take a good look at where we are now
Maybe the end's the start that we need

Give me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted 
Hold it in so long that you forget to say 
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences 
Here with you and my soul on display 

Life is too precious to waste
