Speechless Lyrics

A drive late night

Held hands and a shared cigarette

That blue MLK light

The streets were all shiny and wet

And I have never felt more wonderfully speechless

I've lost my taste for treats

All I take is bittersweet

That's why when you speed my heartbeat

I know it's clouded on this street

And if you're poison baby

I'll tip back the cup and drink

And it's never been so hard

Just to say I'm giving you my heart

Wanna swim deep in your waters

Pray I don't get ripped apart

And when you ask me baby where I come from

Don't you know it's out of the dark

In our velvet world we've made

It's safe to sing and laugh and play

But the pain I see in your face

Shoots an arrow through my frame

I'm just hoping baby I'll never be what makes you insane

It's strange I searched so far

But when you held me you already knew my scars

You're the softest earth in my heart

You're the dust that rained down from the stars

But when you ask me baby where I keep my blade

Just know my tongue is sharp

And when you look at me

I know you see my tree

With every limb I lose

There's a piece of love to keep

And I don't know how we found

That home is in the sound

of our hearts when they brush

But to me that's enough to follow you down

Let me follow you down
