Avalanche

avalanche
tumble down the expanse
avalanche
our love don't stand a chance

i try to tell you how i feel
but every word's a stone that's hurled in this catastrophe
you try to tell me how you feel
but i can't hear a thing you say when i'm your enemy

in this avalanche
boulders breaking our backs
avalanche
our love's under attack

i lay there next to you asleep 
the inches feel like continents dividing you and me 
the shadows hide, the shadows seek
our weary words are hardly heard, we're buried underneath

the silence calls, it's deafening
the only sound i'm hearing now falls still as my ears ring 
i plea for mercy from above
but nothing's sadder than a man gone scavenging for love

in this avalanche
our love's under attack 
avalanche
tumble down the expanse
