[Verse] Correspondence... Between the hopeless... Is a bleak... And doomed affair... Like someone breathin'... Out the breath of another... Then simply... Holdin' the air... [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] No discourse... Ain't no discussion... Words are said... With not a meanin'... [Chorus] Empty prayer... Hollow words... Gutted purpose... Wholly absurd... Two dead people... Who forgot to lay down... Each helpin' the other... Learn how to drown... [Instrumental] [Verse] Every letter... Reads like mournin'... Someone still alive... Tradin' pieces... Of misery... Just to prove... We survived... You tell me... You're empty... I tell you... The same... Two burned-out... Houses... Talkin' about which one... Lost more to the flame... [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] No comfort... No resolution... Just rehearsin'... What we're feelin'... [Chorus] Empty prayer... Hollow words... Gutted purpose... Wholly absurd... Two dead people... Who forgot to lay down... Each helpin' the other... Learn how to drown... [Bridge] Silence... Would be kinder... Distance... Would be grace... But the hopeless... Need to keep like... Company... Need to see the same look... Upon anothers face... So you breathe out... I breathe in... Then give it back... Again and again... Suffocatin'... But at least... Someone's there... [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Empty prayer... Hollow words... Gutted purpose... Wholly absurd... Two dead people... Too tired to lay down... Each holdin' the other... Firmly down... No salvation... No solid ground... Just your voice... And mine... Makin' no real sound... [Outro] Correspondence... Between the hopeless... Is a bleak... And doomed... Affair... [Instrumental fades out]
