Lyrics
Silence learned my breathing
Started living in my lungs
Every unfinished sentence
Still vibrates on my tongue
Pride stands in the corner
Bruised but still awake
No one swung the blade
No hands to blame
Just a quiet hunger
Wearing your name
Love was my guillotine
I kneeled
I smiled
Love was my guillotine
It fell
And I called it worthwhile
Love was my guillotine
Say it was not mine
Love was my guillotine
But I stood in line
Nights stretch without mercy
Skin too tight to rest
Thoughts pace like animals
Beating at my chest
Every memory sharpens
When I try to forgive
Call it love
Call it need
Call it something holy
So I do not call it me
I built the frame
I held the weight
I waited
For the release
Love was my guillotine
I kneeled
I smiled
Love was my guillotine
It fell
And I stayed awhile
Love was my guillotine
Do not say I was not warned
Love was my guillotine
And I was not forced
