Want

been staring for a hundred hours

run down a spiral drain

keep mouth clamped tight

and it isn't right



three words keep running 'round my mind

but tongue is hard to find

i need to let it go

'cause i know



dark secrets burn their vessels

tearing out to grab a mouthful

chunk of heart destroyed by quiet

yell it out before it kills ya now

let it all out



I used to let rumors do my work

they got around real well

now they only hurt

it's a liar's quirk



this time i've gotta say it straight

i mean to do some good

i'm calling out your name

while the chance remains



dark secrets burn their vessels

tearing out to grab a mouthful

chunk of heart destroyed by quiet

yell it out before it kills you now

let it all out



i want you...



so now you know where i come from

my secret's come undone

my heart revealed my cause

i'm lying naked at your feet

don't crush the heart that bleeds

take me at my word

it may sound absurd



i want you...
