i've come to a realization
that my tounge isn't helping this
your voice only makes it worse

and i know that i could only hope for the best
but rest assure that in my chest
resides the blackest heart
we need warmer nights to feel alive
and spill our entrails to the floor
without a tounge i'm choking on
the selfish words that come

but i know that this is hardly over
and i know that i could only hope for the best
but rest assure that in my chest
resides the blackest heart
we need warmer nights to feel alive
and spill our entrails to the floor
without a tounge i'm choking on
the selfish words that come
to fill my mouth and...
