Just like debris in my lungs
So reluctant to escape
You have made your bed in me
and I have softened to your shape
I'm enthralled by your ideals
I'm incensed by your disdain
I spend hours in your head
I draw maps of your pain
ooooh
All the years and blood it took
ooooh
All the love that still remains
ooooh
All our hidden treasures look
Very much the same
Why'd you tremble why'd you ache
Am I not released from your disease
Or are you too wary of my ways
Like I'm so wary of your needs
ooooh
All the years and blood it took
ooooh
All the love that still remains
ooooh
All our hidden treasures look
Very much the same
I've drawn a heart, a face, a gaping mouth
Borders delicately measured out
I'm not the same but I'll take your calloused hands
And we'll trace the lines upon these maps
ooooh
All the years and blood it took
ooooh
All the love that still remains
ooooh
All our hidden treasures look
Very much the same
Very much the same
