As Long as I Can

Your lips taste of acid, your tongue cold as ice
My flesh boils and blisters when you focus your eyes
Tell me how did it end up like this
Now you walk with menace and hate
Your toes plot revenge as you make your escape
How did it end up like this
Your once open arms now just coil and hiss
Your heart doles out a beating as your lungs fill with smoke
Your once cheerful laughter makes me vomit and choke
It’s not supposed to be like this
Up wakes toil and trouble from a bed of calm and bliss
Is this how it’s gonna be
Your skin pricks my fingers as I pull you to me
But I’ll hold on as long as I can
‘Cause I don’t think I’ll ever have this strength again
No, I don’t think I’ll ever have this strength again
