While I lie awake at night
My failures run through my head
And while I'm right next to you
I need you inside me instead

Why can't we cut through the shells where we hide
Why do we feel so alone
Why can't we pry ourselves open inside
Right through to blood and to bone

While I lie asleep at night
A fire burns inside my brain
My blood boils inside my skin
My heart hammers right through my frame

Outside the night is hot
Sirens, dogs bark, a drunk man screams
The world must be splitting apart
And tearing its way through my dreams

Why can't you push so deep into my soul
Tear through inside till we're one
Fill up the emptiness and make me whole
Show me how deep can you come

Why can't we cut through the shells where we hide
Why do we feel so alone
Why can't we pry ourselves open inside
Right through to blood and to bone
