Lyrics: Life Sentence

She would forgive the truth
if you'd lift her with a smile, like you used to do.
She would bring the cuffs to you,
just to make you stay a while as if you wanted to.

So lie down, sleep around
hearts bending now will break
your light shattering my calm
a Life Sentence in your arms.
Breath in, breath out
a touch that suffocates
sirens wailing in alarm
a Life Sentence in your arms.

His arm reads like a prison cell wall
scratching days down as they pass, not recalling them all.
And his thoughts they twist and turn
investing everything in her and not expecting a return.
Will that be good enough for her?

So lie down, sleep around
hearts bending now will break
your light shattering my calm
a Life Sentence in your arms.
Breath in, breath out
a touch that suffocates
sirens wailing in alarm
a Life Sentence in your arms
