the heat makes it so dry

Teetering on the edge, just like I'm falling, almost
Dry throats and bloodshot eyes, I look like a ghost
And what I need from you, I deny myself the most
Can't request, can't express what it would mean to me

Standing here facing you
Can't decide whether to
Scream or cry
Collapse under the weight
And as the tears start to well
The heat makes it so they dry
And I can't seem to look you in the eye
(and you can't seem to look me in the eyes)

Carefully like a mirage, your presence's just a painting
Opposite to the stars, your darkness' never waning
I'm past begging for rain, it's time I start abstaining
I'll lie down here and let the heat or drought just take me

No longer chasing you
Can't decide whether to
Live or die
Collapse under the weight
And as the tears start to well
The heat makes it so they dry
And I can't seem to look you in the eye
(and you can't seem to look me in the eyes)

[Insert guitar solo here.]

No longer chasing you
Can't decide whether to
Live or die
Collapse under the weight
And as the tears start to well
The heat makes it so they dry
And I can't seem to look you in the eye
(and you can't seem to look me in the eyes)

The heat makes it so dry
And I can't seem to look you in the eye
(and you can't seem to look me in the eyes)
