beneath the surface

exchanging words everyday and every night
I feel your body so close to mine
and in your ear is where I say we're out of time
my lids are rising again, I apologize

but it's not as if I want to wake
it's sad but here I feel safe
I wish that we could get away
but how could dreams escape

  darling don't you cry about my life
inside my head there are shames I cannot hide
I know we're flawed but our flesh cannot lie
I need to see you so I will close my eyes

it's not like this is what I'd hoped
where living makes me feel alone
oh please clean all my bones
but how could dreams be shown

I wish your eyes weren't so bold
I wish my heart wasn't so cold
my failures have made us old
and so I'll die going home
