Life Sentence

Life Sentence
She would forgive a truth
if you left her with a smile
like you used to do
She would bring the cuffs to you
just to make you stay a while
as if you wanted to
So lie down, sleep around
hearts bending now will break
your light shattering my calm
a life sentence in your arms
Breathe in now, breathe out, it sucks, it suffocates
sirens wailing in alarm
a life sentence in your arms
His arm reads like a prison cell wall
scratching days down as they pass
not recalling them all
And his thoughts they twist and turn
investing everything in her
and not expecting a return
Will that be good enough for her?
So lie down, sleep around
hearts bending now will break
your light shattering my calm
a life sentence in your arms
Breathe in now, breathe out, it sucks, it suffocates
sirens wailing in alarm
a life sentence in your arms
So lie down, sleep around
hearts bending now will break
your light shattering my calm
a life sentence in your arms
Breathe in now, breathe out, it sucks, it suffocates
sirens wailing in alarm
a life sentence in your arms
