Lyrics Count to Ten - ThouShaltNot

Count to Ten

You’ll hold your breath and count
You’ll stop at ten
And then need to do it over again
But don’t bite your tongue
Come on tell me, tell what I already know
'Cause we’re not strangers
Who’d sell our beloved discomfort for petty gold
And nothing changes in Hell
Its mouth is open, its eyes are closed
Its claws are lashing and its rage exposed
And I wait for you to revive my ghost from where I fell
Where there is sound, there’s life
Sometimes I act like this
To hear your shrieking prove that you exist
If you ran the world
We’d all be strapped in white jackets for feeling at all
But what you’ve got
Is just your black mortar, one way glass, brick and serenity wall
And because I’m not on your side, I’m a trap
My jaws are open, my ears are closed
I’m poised and still, but ready to explode
But it’s not like that I promise there’s no code
And no secrets to unwrap
You can’t hold your breath forever
Beneath the shelter of the sky
'Cause my reflection in your water
Will break the surface tension you’ve been swearing by
This is a different world with every frame of time
And time can see the living stillness you create
When you stop counting and you breathe
Your mouth is open, your eyes are closed
Your hands are trembling and your teardrops flow
And the moment rises to find us both, and it never leaves
