Counting Breaths

Lyrics: Vance Dernovich Music: Vance Dernovich Precious words,soften passing time Paper moons folded tight Tender lies crease the shape of night Voices echo through absence Shadows casting silence Fragile vows still waiting for an answer Threads loosen,behind the curtain The answer growing distant Voices led me astray Memories fade A page left open,written names unspoken My lines hid something broken These word diminished,now Can't wait for an answer,to a future That keeps closing,fading Hands still moving,bleeding through me Running out of time The clock ticks down Borrowed breaths count me out till then A page left open,written names unspoken My line hid something broken These word diminished,now To a future That keeps closing Precious words,soften passing time Paper moons,folded tight Tender lies,crease the shape of night But ill still reach out for something The crease lies where names were waiting If futures keep fading from my hands A page left open, each line rewritten,threads pulled loose Threads loosen,behind the curtain A book frayed at the seems Counted breaths from you I borrow,waiting for light to let go Memories fade away Hands still moving,bleeding through me Running out of time The clock ticks down Borrowed breaths count me out till then
