hold in your last breath and stare
  assure me your metronome left arm stick shift is stuck on the right words in your ear
  could you hear me loud and clear? in sight and out of mind
  cautiously avoiding the cracks not to disturb your steadied arm straight line
  the facts before a climb... a plan before a crime
  tired in the days that passed away
  sporadically arranged across your floor when you've got it made...
    dear mariah, the worlds not big enough for the both of us when we live in the same town
  fight on fire burn my hands till i got nothing left to count my numbers on
    your wise ass comments could cheer you up
  the emotional disturbance relax deep breathe sit back from the space in which you stand
  here and in demand don't touch a fresh wound that bleeds
  all over you carpets the stains the story book remains and the page that states you've tied
  accept and then reply acknowledge the other guy, tired in the days that pasted away
  sporadically arragned across the floor when you've got it made
    don't change your mind when alls been won
  your words in time with the loss that you'd let them go
  don't let them fall if your grips not strong
  in time decide... with the words you should let them go
    dear mariah come sleep in your own bed
  when eye meets eye be calm
  will lie here alone locked the children in the floor
  who sat me down here?
  your dreams can't last forever
