You feel my attention slip away

You see the clouds chill my gaze

I sing to you without words

I breathe to you what hurts

The mud has dried on my skin

It hardens my heart again

I want to hold and hit

I need to stay and to quit

But you slide down

To hold my ground

And I can fall apart again

You promise if I let you in

That I'll stay safe in a tighter embrace

And so I fall apart

Time won't look back and won't forgive

And the mud has moved into where I live

It clots my thin, thin blood

And my heart's about to flood

You always see more than you say

And when I request you obey

But the mud's too much to hold

And your feet are getting cold

So you slide down

To hold my ground

And I can fall apart again

You promise if I let you in

That I'll stay safe in a tighter embrace

But now

We both fall apart within

Your promises are wearing thin

Say you're not safe in a tighter embrace

And so we fall apart

Your mud was hidden in your heart while mine was on my face

Because you kept it cold and dark, I couldn't find your hiding place

I thought we were sharing, I didn't mean

To stiffen in you what I would've tried to clean

My mud has finally gone soft

But I don't need you here to clean it off
