Shedding old skin to grow new skin to live in
I begin drawing straight lines between you and I to calculate time
With love out loud caught in throat I bite my tongue till it hurts
Shedding old skin to grow new skin to live in
I'm swallowed up in words, I'm drowning in verbs that flood my mind
I bury my face in your hands, my fingers ground down to dust
With love out loud caught in my throat, my silver tongue turns to rust
I hold your face in my hands, my fingers wrapped up in curls
With love out loud caught in my throat I fold desire in words
"Let's get away from here, let's shed the world"
With love out loud caught in throat I bite my tongue till it hurts
With love out loud caught in my throat
I choke
