Regret

I've consumed it whole
It stuck to my throat

Again I gave in
I let it eat my skin
Again I let it tear me
To the bone

If this was a peaceful dream
I would lock the moment in
And sleep

    Stay asleep, a moment in a dream

Make me realize
The cost of our silent speech
You make me able to speak
Without a word

    Stay asleep, a moment in a dream

If I had a cage and a key
I would lock the moment in
Like a bird

Make me realize
The cost of our silent speech
You make me able to speak
Without a word

Again I gave in
I let it eat my skin
Again I let it tear me
