"A Kiss Before The Dying"

I can't quite breathe alone
The patience pressing harder still
Have I lost my call
My fantasies all unfulfilled?
What can I liken to these seas?
A kiss before may bury me
To drown within a day is closer than you think

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

It's all uphill from here
I've walked 1,000 miles have you
The final cut to slip, but never had the follow through
A vagrant of song melodies
A kiss before my tendencies
I carry a blade to keep the scars that never wash away

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

Through time my memories have jaded
The innocence of child has faded
I break the chase the ones that left me
All alone

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive
