Nine's Deadline

I see you across the room
In spoken green
I wanna play with your eyes
And pull at your strings

And this hallowed blue heart
Is given a start, its watching for a chance
To go out and tear you apart

The buzz of the beat drops dead to the floor
And I'm breathing in something that I wasn't ready for
I'm stuttering loud, looking around
I'm looking at you and losing myself

I'm giving in
I'm giving in
I'm giving in
I'm giving in
I'm giving

I'm stuck behind these tired eyes of mine
Sweetheart, I should, I should be home by now
Let's play a game, I'll give you a name
These cards and wheels and satin feels of the night time

It's three past five, I've got a deadline at nine
Maybe next year I could give you some time
But I'm stuttering loud, looking around
I'm looking at you and losing myself

I'm giving in
I'm giving in
I'm giving in
I'm giving in
I'm giving

Here we go again
This lions got me
In its ugly den

It's so much harder to pretend
When you're thinking about it
