Her eyes take me away

Tear me apart from the inside out

Dead eyes speaking volumes
The other person appears to be emotionally distant or unresponsive, even though their facial expressions imply a deep and complex emotional state.

But our lips refuse to move

Could this ever be the last time?

The final time that we see this through?

Give me the strength to return, return the breath you've stolen

Give me the means to resist (resist)

Within chests carved with regret

We've been running blind
