I've got this heart of stone
Encased in skin and bone
This poison pumps through all these hard and weathered veins
I've got this heart of glass
And it's shattered in the past
It took me years, but now I've salvaged the remains
So I keep you at arm's length
But I keep you in arm's reach
Safe and sound from the mess you made
I guess that this is the price we pay
To keep you at arm's length
It's hard to keep you in arm's reach
When all I want is to run away
From all the things that you do and say
I've got this heart of lead
Weighed down by all you said
These heavy words they linger on and on and on
I've got this heart of fire
And it burns with new desire
It fills my lungs and gives me strength to carry on
So I keep you at arm's length
But I keep you in arm's reach
Safe and sound from the mess you made
I guess that this is the price we pay
To keep you at arm's length
It's hard to keep you in arm's reach
When all I want is to run away
From all the things that you do and say
And all we are (we are)
Is all we've ever been
We lost ourselves along the way (along the way)
Your smoke is filling up my lungs
And I'm dying just for one more breath
I'm gasping
I'm gasping

EMPTY PLACES

we say goodbye
as our heads collide
and break the silence
between the lines
your words were selfish
and so were mine
some wounds won't heal
if given time
so we try
to aim this spite
right through the heart again
we cave to sin
goes right through the heart
we run
through all the empty places
that we used to call our home
we both know
it's not me that you're running from
we both went numb
in the bitter cold
the stillest air
can take its toll
i tried in vain
to save your soul
but we both know
who makes us whole
we run
through all the cold empty places
that we used to call our home
we both know
it's not me that you're running from
we both know
it's not me that you're running from
