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
