safe in the hollows
sheltered and dry
i was waiting on your words

at war with my nature
seeking what lies
at the point of no return

willing to follow
out on a limb
so i'll get what i deserve

how can we pretend
when you love someone
their love will never bend?
it's beyond all reason

but how can i defend
the part of me
that's burning through my chest?
it's the part of me
that loves you onto death

chasing a heartbeat
a rush to the head
and your heart's all on the line

then you're back where you started
in pieces again
and you don't know why you try

how can we pretend
when you love someone
their love will never bend?
it's beyond all reason
but how can i defend
the part of me
that's burning through my chest?

against all sense
against all gravity
every step
denying reality

every bone
bending back on me
all i know
screaming out

how can we pretend
when you love someone
their love will never bend?
it's beyond all reason
but how can i defend
the part of me
that's burning through my chest?
it's the part of me
that loves you onto death
