I Won't Bend

(album: Still Life - 2014)

It's a death,
You won't say my name
You won't watch me sleep
You won't turn my eyes
You won't shut your mouth
When I hold my breath
When I break your stare
When I'm caving in.

I speak to you while you're sleeping
A sad code that goes "I can't breathe anymore"
And I've got your back,
But you're changing right in front of my eyes.

I'll keep you here for now.
And I won't let up.
I've got plenty to hide.

It's a death,
You won't say my name
You won't watch me sleep
You won't turn my eyes
You won't shut your mouth
When I hold my breath
When I break your stare
When I'm caving in.

I want to keep you inside
Say our prayers
And live in a lie
Pull the stars that hang in the sky
And sleep with our bodies frozen in time.

I'll keep you here for now.
And I won't let up.
I've got plenty to hide.

It's a death,
You won't say my name
You won't watch me sleep
You won't turn my eyes
You won't shut your mouth
When I hold my breath
When I break your stare
When I'm caving in.
