you try to reason with the bolted door
when you get lost in your mind at night
who you are, and were before --
know that i am yours if you are mine
i tried to get you back inside
but my keys don't unlock anything
i'm with the ghosts and angels, killing time
i'm nothing for you if i don't believe
the things we know and dare not breathe
the thing we say and don't believe
the wall of roses fell
climbed off the trellis and onto the wind
the beauty that we thought we held
just thorny whips looking for skin
loving you is hoarding smoke
there's nowhere for you to go
but in my lungs and in my bones
i love you while it kills me slow
the things we know and dare not breathe
the thing we say and don't believe
the stark relief of tree on snow
the color's gone, but comes the thaw
tell me secrets, leave me notes
on the paper they print bibles on
the things we say and don't believe
the things we know
and dare not breathe
