lyrics

she woke me up with cut wrists and a smile
so I smiled back
she apologized for the blood on the wall
so I told her nah I don't mind that
see it's hard to heal when the pain won't slow
when the wounds aren't flesh so the scars don't show
when your mind's too polluted so the stars don't glow
no faith in fate, no heaven above
numb from the cold tryn'a feel with drugs
more lows than highs, more lust than love
Hova never replies so I trust this buzz
to kill this pain and it's fuck your club
let me be, give me seclusion
just let me bleed, kill my delusions
no want for action, no words to speak
so close the door and just let me sleep
I woke her up when the nightmares hit
so she woke me up made the nightmares quit
now we're both here in the middle of the night
in the middle of life when don't shit seem right
tryn'a find a moment, a moment of peace
tryn'a find a reason, a reason to breathe
tryn'a find some hope, some hope for the future
God fuck the future the future scares me
she won't be present when the moments past
the moment of peace that I found at last
as I felt her heart beat in the middle of the night
in the middle of life when I felt love’s bite

show me everywhere that you've been hiding
tell me all your troubles and I'll tell you mine
how the heat can beat beat beat it from your breath
how the heat can beat beat beat it from your breath
secrets spun as thin as summer threads

The room was still, time crept by
Her eyes on the ceiling like a clear blue sky
no more questions she looked so wise
the wounds ain't healed but the blood is dry
just like the tears, just like the fears
just like the pain, it all disappeared
it took surrender to mend her heart
I saw it all happen in the middle of the dark
karma burns like a candle in the dim lit night
I could almost see her smile in the flickering light
a burden so heavy, a heart so tight
but you let it all go when your soul takes flight
try as I might, tears still slipped
passed one knife and four slit wrists
one last breath that's when it hit
it never really mattered but that's just it

I woke her up when the nightmares hit
so she woke me up made the nightmares quit
now we're both here in the middle of the night
in the middle of life when don't shit seem right
tryn'a find a moment, a moment of peace
tryn'a find a reason, a reason to breathe
tryn'a find some hope, some hope for the future
God fuck the future, the future scares me
she won't be present when the moments past
the moment of peace that I found at last
as I felt her heart beat in the middle of the night
in the middle of life when I felt love’s bite

show me everywhere that you've been hiding
tell me all your troubles and I'll tell you mine
how the heat can beat beat beat it from your breath
how the heat can beat beat beat it from your breath
secrets spun as thin as summer threads
