I can hear it daintily,

Faintly surrounding me,

The disconnect is drowning me,

For it's the root of all my troubles.

I can see me falling down,

Away from all your embrace now,

Far from your sweet face now,

I'm tumbling from this height.

I can feel your pillow lips,

Against my cheek and my heart rips,

For I cry each night and my tears drip

As I feel you slip away.

I can smell you on my skin,

From all those nights I'd let you in,

From all those times of heavenly sin,

I feel it’s your time to go.

I can taste blood in my mouth,

My insides up, down, north and south.

I’m breathing now with a heavy lung

Because truthfully,

When I’m with you,

I forget who I was

And the songs I once sung.
