Want

been staring for a hundred hours
run down a spiral drain
keep mouth clamped tight
and it isn't right

three words keep running 'round my mind
but tongue is hard to find
i need to let it go
'cause i know

dark secrets burn their vessels
tearing out to grab a mouthful
chunk of heart destroyed by quiet
yell it out before it kills ya now
let it all out

I used to let rumors do my work
they got around real well
now they only hurt
it's a liar's quirk

this time i've gotta say it straight
i mean to do some good
i'm calling out your name
while the chance remains

dark secrets burn their vessels
tearing out to grab a mouthful
chunk of heart destroyed by quiet
yell it out before it kills you now
let it all out

i want you...

so now you know where i come from
my secret's come undone
my heart revealed my cause
i'm lying naked at your feet
don't crush the heart that bleeds
take me at my word
it may sound absurd

i want you...
