Asteria - A Lesson In Charades lyrics

Don't bite your lip to hold back your smile

Just think of this

As bending the rules

You are walking a thin line

Between me and what's right

This thread seems worn and frayed

Don't hide your face

And cower behind

A wall made up

Of secrets and lies

You can put it all on me

But if this is what's been wrong

Then why is your hand in mine?

One moment at a time

With nothing but your eyes

You make me scream

Stop and let me breathe

Regretting our first kiss

Taste the poison on your lips

Bloody and sweet

Stop and let me breathe.

This room is too cold to hold back your tears

And your heart is too weak to wear on your sleeve

If I'd allow myself to feel

The things I know I should

Then I might not be standing here

My mind is busy trying to sort through your words

Or lack thereof the ones that I want to hear

I rip my heart up piece by piece

To show you how I feel

If I thought that you'd even care.

One moment at a time

With nothing but your eyes

You make me scream

Stop and let me breathe

Regretting our first kiss

Taste the poison on your lips

Bloody and sweet

Stop and let me breathe.

Oh god this poison's spreading

Can't feel the ground beneath my feet

My hands won't stop shaking

My legs are crippled from defeat

My vision's getting blurry

My heart is breaking as you speak

Won't you listen to me?

To me

To me

One moment at a time

With nothing but your eyes

You make me scream

Stop and let me breathe

Regretting our first kiss

Taste the poison on your lips

Bloody and sweet

Stop and let me breathe.
