Muscle to Bone

Beats skipping, moments drifting Your words ripping through comforts Meticulously tearing At every page of the book You're bold and you're brilliant You mold like gum in your cheek Each phrase, a play, every note You intend, to suspend This deepening discourse that renders Us fools You don't owe me anything We keep chasing these sheets over Skeletal dreams So save your sleepless soliloquy I plead You don't crave the touch Don't cling to my lips like a flame to a torch But you want to be close So pull my arms around your bones I hold you for silence I hold your tongue in my teeth I fold your mouth like a note I descend, you ascend A crescendo, a coarse rending whisper You're cruel You don't owe me anything We keep chasing these sheets over Skeletal dreams So save your sleepless soliloquy I plead You don't crave the touch Don't cling to my lips like a flame to a torch But you want to be close So pull my arms around your bones You don't crave the touch Don't cling to my lips like muscle to bone But you want to be close You want to feel love (repeat X2)
