The Terrible Secret - Emery

The Terrible Secret - Emery
Pave these streets with open arms
It's always you we have waited on
The skin the taste the ** the need
I am asking telling you don't leave
Erase the lines that we have drawn
It's always you we have waited on and waited on
Waited and on and on
And on and on
And on
These are our words that fill these mouths
But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell
It out
These palms and frames that we tear through
To cling to something that is bigger than the failed
Attempts at you
Wait wait wait
I don't want to see
Wait wait wait
I am not the person anyone would want to be
The perfect shoes with matching clothes
It is the lie we are always told
But nothing masks the shallow touch
Like saying words that cost so much
While you are an addict to the need
To find yourself a way to breathe
The sex the purge the vein the look
To replace the feelings that we have took
These are our words that fill these mouths
But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell
It out
These palms and frames we tear through
To cling to something that is bigger than the failed
Attempts at you
Perfection
It's perfection
But never quite enough and never could disguise
The *** to make it stay
The wanting in your eyes
The money that you spent
But you still an accident
We are more than words that fill our mouths
Drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we
Need
These are words that fill these mouths
But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell
It out
These palms and frames we tear through
To cling to something that is bigger than the failed
Attempts at you
Wait wait wait
I don't want to see
Wait wait wait
I am not the person anyone would want to be
Waiting here 'til you leave
