I can count the walls closing in
When I try to outrun the place that you call a sin
I'll let your newfound conceit be the new beginning
To the day of defeat where no one is winning
You said those who seek will surely find
You said those who ask will get a line
I've opened my heart up to let you in
But how do I get you under my skin?
Pray that you'll get your way
I promise, you'll walk astray
Beg for all you crave
I swear I'll help you dig your grave
It's like pulling a rope melting into sulfur
I have asked again and again and again
For that striking movement
To move my thoughts just for a moment
That moment making us feel like forever
That lasts forever until it fades away
You said those who seek will surely find
You said those who ask will get a line
I've opened my heart up to let you in
But how do I get you under my skin?
I've opened my heart up to let you in
But how do I get you under my skin?
I can hear the tick of the clock up on the wall waiting to die
As days, weeks, months go by
Without even the least of touch from what keeps me alive
I'm like a ghost, waiting to leave my worries behind
Without anyone hearing my screams or fueling my endeavor
As every pounding tick lashes my back, I feel a little less
And question a little more
Until those moments that keep my spirit alive
Those moments that wake my spirit to life
Those moments that keep my spirit alive
Those moments that wake my spirit to life
Those moments that keep my spirit alive
Those moments that wake my spirit to life
You said those who seek will surely find
You said those who ask will get a line
Just when I'm about to lose you
You find a way back into my life
Into my life
Just when I'm about to lose you
You find a way back into my life
