Vertigo lyrics

Vertigo 
as soft as skin 
when everything stops and it starts again 
please let it go 
i can taste her heart against my lips 

the signal fades 
and we count it down 
to the sound of a word that she's never known 
vertigo 
brittle hearts so tight they crack like glass 

she waits for it 
it's all that she has 

along a wire 
across the sky 
a room with a view and a soft prayer for light 
through the midnight hour 
streets that have no names carry me home 

and we find ourselves 
with the hearts of thieves 
she whispers like angels with blood on her teeth 
i fall down again 
i learn to love to bleed 

she waits for it 
it's all that she has 

and i pray for sleep to fall 
that's all that i need 

(and here i lay 
in soft and still 
as shadows crawl 
across the room 
all while she sleeps 
in soft and still 
as seconds fade) 

vertigo 
it starts again 
with the darkest of rooms and the softest of skin 
please let it go 
i'm halfway home by now but in my head 

and i somehow fail 
to find her lips 
as this sick game we play takes a familiar twist 
and the beauty is 
signals i once loved i left for this
