My knuckles are blistered and scarred
From beating myself up over this
Outlined in black, backing me down
With stares to kill, she scans the room

Brought together by the same thing that's tearing us apart

The sun's your smile (I'm burning alive)
The moon's your eyes (They're shutting me out)
The rain's your kiss (I'm up to my chin)
You're my world
I'll reach for that (I can't help this)
Which is just out of reach (It was meant to be)
Take the longest way (The end of me)
Go against the grain

Regardless how I alter my gait
The finish line is forever one stride away
But now my walk won't waiver
My steps are constant in rhythm and time

You never hesitate to tear muscle straight from bone

The sun's your smile (I'm burning alive)
The moon's your eyes (They're shutting me out)
The rain's your kiss (I'm up to my chin)
You're my world
I'll reach for that (I can't help this)
Which is just out of reach (It was meant to be)
Take the longest way (The end of me)
Go against the grain
You knew the story before you turned the page
I knew the words before they left your lips
Fired passed your teeth through silence from point blank range
Should this be salvation?
(You take care of verbs and I'll worry about adjectives.)
