Silently broken (i need your heart)

Bring me the pen
just hand me the pen
i can't reach you
could never release you
and yet i feel it all
coming after me
trying to crawl up inside me

i wake to find myself
within the sun
and ready to stare
down that gun
i'm on the run
and when i ask
"what do you mean?"
all i want is that you come clean
bring me the pen
let go of that pen
can't reach you
never release you

the kiss of blood
everything misunderstood

break the bones and
throw the stones
and cry out loud
why does it happen,
why can't i be found?
a kick to the ribs
now i try to wash
all sins away
tomorrow's too far away
forever is gone for good

feel that ice across the skin
just let that hurt take you in
i never win
i never win
never win
to die for sin
to take that axe
to your own back
so hard to do
you'll make it through
just swing real hard
and pray real hard
regrets they can't disregard
the kiss of blood
everything misunderstood

i scatter ash across the stream
a gray cloud, all i see
don't disagree
with me
there goes the razor
pass it around
silence is found
inside the ground

the kiss of blood
everything misunderstood
i need all that you are
the love i crave

alone we are
alone i am
now all that's left
sacrifice that lamb
the innocent
oh, the innocent,
children.
goodnight.

love is a scary dream
a dream with ice and heartache
more than one can take
i'll take that place
a risk i'll take
and reap the benefits of a love
bones crushed
ground into dust
love is a must
but now i'm lost
cause i have died
without my love
and now the innocent
waste away
without a heart
i can't reach you
could never release you
love is all i need
all i want to breathe
but now i die
as i continue to bleed-
you never even gave back that pen.

the kiss of blood
everything misunderstood
i need all that you are
the love i crave
