The beating control system
Confined to this aching chest
Slams back and forth
Whenever you're near
My steady breath
Picks up rapid speed
As my fears grab it roughly
Ripping it from my tender lungs
I want so badly
To read your charming eyes
And uncover the sweet lullabies
They have yet to sing
But my fears are raging waters
They confine my heart from you
They consume me, drowning me
They go on in infinite waves
You're a forbidden fruit
But I long for the smallest bite
You're a buried treasure
But most say you're the dirt
It isn't that I don't believe them
It isn't that I'm in denial
But I know that you're more
I know you have to be more
I want to erase you
From the beating control system
Confined to this aching chest
Slamming back and forth
Because we've each been claimed
Because you'd never settle for me
Because I'm only dreaming
I want to press delete
