Without Lips

By Kevin Robey

[verse]
I've had some space
I've had some time
To think about the days 
I had nothing to say 

My windowless heart
Will still be alright
Every scar that I heal
Will get me through the night

[chorus]
So She dies
She dies every time I lie
And I kiss
It's like kissing without lips

[verse]
I hide in plain sight
Behind shorter hair 
Avoiding the light
The lingering stares

So different indeed
I begged for disease
Had I known of the pain
I wouldn't have changed 

[verse]
She won't die
She lives every time I try
So I kiss
It's like I'm kissing with her lips

Now I know 
What was missing behind the wheel
And I feel
For the first time it feels so real

[listening to "Whitehorse" by Die! Die! Die!]
