Reptilian Lyrics

Caught sleeping with the enemy last night

Cold pillows tell me something just ain't right

You're up and running at the break of dawn

Should've known when I woke you would be gone

You leave a part of me behind

So I can live while you're away

And if I'm able to survive

Then I may see your face again

You say you miss me when you're gone

And sometimes that is all I need

Though I am empty and alone

You'll bring the pieces back to me

Day dreaming of a life I lived before

Hope burning like a flame out of control

Sparks fly and you're pulling at my strings again

I can't wait to see the ways you make me bend

You leave a part of me behind

So I can live while you're away

And if I'm able to survive

Then I may see your face again

You say you miss me when you're gone

And sometimes that is all I need

Though I am empty and alone

You'll bring the pieces back

This stranglehold is tightening around my throat

And I don't know what to do if I can't even get to sleep

Constricting slow, basking in complete control, reptilian

You're cold-blooded and burning yourself inside of me

We are living in separate worlds now

Held together by distant words said half a lifetime ago

And we're learning to live in a sea of sorrow

No one thought that we'd last this long, predicting that we would fall apart

And then we'd be all alone, but we proved them all wrong

And we're moving forward now

I still feel your presence when you're not around me

I'm constantly turning to see if you're waiting there

I get to feeling like I'm growing colder

As long as you keep me kneeling at your alter inside

Turning my head until you're disappearing

So I can go on living life like I wanted to

Then I remember what held us together

The storms of our past that we thought we had weathered

And all of this time, all of the lies that I told you

I know now that you always saw through

But you keep on coming back

Bringing my pieces to me

Bringing my pieces back

Bringing my pieces back

Bringing them back to me
