there is a grinding of teeth 
an unwillingness to be
i am seeing underneath 
seeing deep inside of me
i start to feel the tension
and, as unawareness grows
my tears have been my pension
though i'm covered, it all shows
i'm creeping through the hollows
shutting out all of the light
the chokes and cries and swallows
cut away what's left of flight
they've all gone on without me
let it be known: i am weak
i'm starving in the valley
but i cannot cease to be
i'm falling in to pieces
in time which is of the now
you say heartbreak decreases
but i truly can't see how
my eyes are growing heavy
my chest is pained in sorrow
and, as i rest in your eyes,
i know we have tomorrow
so sing me into dreaming
let no silence in between
i barely keep from screaming
but don't want to make a scene
please, let me in on sighing
you know it has been too long
i'm sick of all the lying
just tell me that you were wrong
this feeling can't be ending
not while there's breath for breathing
with all the love i'm sending
know that i'm never leaving
