Pause The Tragic Ending

(album: Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart - 2008)

Draw me under, cut me open
Take my heart, I give it to you
Call the thunder and bring the storm
Hold me close, I beg of you

And pause the tragic ending
For just a moment more
Draw the dresser out
And slide it to the door

And burn the air out of the room
Close the curtain and kill the lights
Only seconds left to tell you
How I need you every night

And pause the tragic ending
For I'm almost out of breath
Whisper in my ear
Take a bite out of my neck

I'd give you blood
If that's what you need to stay alive
You'll be free and I will die

You've fallen down broken, no sense
No sense, hey, no sense, hey
You've fallen down broken, no sense
No sense, hey, no sense, hey
You've fallen down broken, no sense
No sense, hey, no sense

Throw the ashes out to sea
God forbid you, hurt her twice
Drink away the taste of me
And in the morning pay the price

Pause this tragic ending
?? to say
Wash the sheets and clear your head, you'll be okay
But bury me deep down in every song you play

The tragic ending
The tragic ending
The tragic ending saves the day
