TURN OFF THE SOUNDS

Turn off the sound of your darken voice
those late-night dances keep me on my feet
I hang up the telephone when you call
just be here with me when I fall,
I like the rain when it falls on my skin
I like the sounds of the ravens
I like the kisses you gave
I love the moans of your body
when it touches mine it hurts me,
when I never see, you smile
You have taken the light out of my world
We get so disconnected
like light and day
You are my favorite place
when I see the love in your eyes,
but yeah, we're so disconnected
I want to feel your breath up and down back
I want to fix your broken smile
and put love back in your heart
I love you
I learn so much from you
you lie and I try not to
But I want more from you.
