To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,

Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all

i want you to touch me and I'm sorry for that

i want your hands to be the ones that bring forth
the sighs that i save for dark moments,
me sitting alone listening to you
strumming that guitar
