Peeling Back the Skin of Our Love

I can't smell the breath of your hair anymore
i don't see the stars in your eyes anymore
i can't take the punishment you dish anymore
and we aren't meant to battle it out
like this

i feel the heart-attack
i caress the cross upon my back
i reach inside for the feelings i lack
your eyes were never meant for the devil
they were meant for me

and the heart, it lashes out
and the heart, it passes out
and your heart, it leaves its mark
while the clouds cover me, inside of the gray
i just want to see
who you really are

i break inside the punctured skin
prepare to walk the tragic path within
you are my love, my everything
and you can't make me let it go
all the tears you regretfully show
all the scars that your eyes behold
upon my heart, underneath this soul

we can't let that happen
we won't let it happen
we must breathe in what we were denied
our love, let it bleed,
let it bleed, let it bleed

it will survive, i know
it will survive, stay alive

cover me with ashes as i drink you in
our life will end as soon as we begin
i can feel it release
i can feel it release
i will always believe
all that lives inside me
peel it back
peel it back

everything leaves, but you will return
everything freezes, but you continue to burn
everything bleeds, but we are not concerned
we have it all
we have it all
everything screams, but it's never heard
everything dies, but we've already seen the worst
everything leaves, but you will return

laughing in the distance
passion in the rain
romance, our position
under the stars, our love's in a prison

today it's all over
today it's all done
our love's in a prison
forever we're one
today it's all over
today it's all done
our love's in a prison
forever we're one

lock me inside the walls of your heart
lock me inside the walls of your heart
lock me inside the walls of your heart
lock me inside the walls of your heart

it will survive, i know
we will survive, this i know
