Hyperventilate

Always within reach
Always within grasp
Your emotions I could not breach
They were guarded by a clasp

Guarded by insecurities
And love that was once lost
By your own goddamn impurities
But you always knew the cost

Will you hold me now
Hold me now
So I can feel your warm embrace
Just in case I
Hyperventilate

Will you love me now
Love me now
So I can taste your sweet lips
And death you will eclipse
And breathe life into me

You lie in bed alone
Looking so broken, without a care
As your heart turns into stone
And your lungs lose vital air

I know the memories hurt
I've been down that road before
When you feel the disconcert
Please know there's so much more

Will you hold me now
Hold me now
So I can feel your warm embrace
Just in case I
Hyperventilate

Will you love me now
Love me now
So I can taste your sweet lips
And death you will eclipse
And breathe life into me

I've seen you cry
I've held you tight
But I can't try
To make it right

Go on your own
Before I change
'Cause we both know
We're both too strange

But don't hold me now
Don't hold me now
'Cause I can't feel your warm embrace
Even if I lose pace and begin to
Hyperventilate

And don't love me now
Don't love me now
'Cause I can't taste your sweet lips
Since death's what you can't eclipse

And leave me be
Please don't breathe
Life into me.
