The Sentiment Inside

Rewind - I only want to listen to you sleep Do you dream of places close to me? I don't know how to make this right I never thought I'd ever breath so tight Confusing, the issues underneath I don't know how to find this place locked in a box inside a cage far away Singing songs for rainy days And I want to tell you But words so clumsy are not my friends They starve these thoughts when they begin And I still need you to know But my lips are tightly holding back The sentiment inside is lying trapped Higher, higher than the skies above And deeper than the cells within I love you more than these And I love you more than they Three splinters hide below this shell Where yesterday provided me this hell And left me, lifeless, empty And you're asking for more than I can give But it takes so much air for us to live Completely, I understate my haunted dreams I really don't want to sleep just yet - I think about this...as I lie in bed Let me forget, the color of my death I know it's not fair to live this way Still I've said about as much as I can say And I would, take it all back if I could...
