Lyrics

I thought last night
I heard your voice
I speak through you
You speak through me
I draw my breath
To let you out
To set me free

This mirrored world
That holds us fast
Keeps me from you
Keeps you from me
When you break down
It won’t destroy
The symmetry

And I know why
You don’t see me cry
When you bleed
Your eyes are my eyes
And when they cry
You can’t see

The bones that crack
The blood that runs
Is death to you
Is death to me
My frozen eyes
Have no more light
To make you see

And I know why
You don’t feel me die
When you bleed
Your heart is my heart
And when it stops
You can’t feel
