Stone and Sand

I am the heat inside your chest,
I am the hand laid on your breast
Above your heart to tell you everything you feel is real.
So soft spoken, words of doubt and fear dribble from your mouth
To form the ocean of your insecurities...
Right at my feet.

And you act as if I'm not there,
Fformed from broken places elsewhere
Like I got behind the wheel in my hometown
And won't look back.
My own problems lay behind me but they catch up
Cause that black sea left behind has a tide
And it swells up to follow me.

Every single mistake,
Every broken heart,
Every time I've felt alone its cause I thought I was at home
But just awoke to find myself and only me, only me.

Grains of sand in my hand,
Fistfuls of life that fall apart
When I turn them over
To see what the talk is about.
But it seeps through my fingers and some through my skin
As I take with me a memory of when you and I were stone and sand.

Every single mistake,
Every broken heart,
Every time I've felt alone its cause I thought I was at home
But just awoke to find myself and only me, only me.

I am an abandoned house left to rot in the clouds and the weather.
My passion sparked up a flame in the chimney
The fire flowing over into every room,
Out through every window that I used to stare out of.
Into everything, out of time,
I must get out so I can watch the things
I love disintegrate and turn to ash,
Ash and dust.

Every single mistake,
Every broken heart,
Every time I've felt alone its cause I thought I was at home
But just awoke to find myself and only me, only me.
