[Verse 1] I got a heartbeat knockin' like a forbidden sin, Yeah, a heartbeat knockin' like a forbidden sin, And the life I took for granted—it's just caving in. [Verse 2] I play at bein' somebody I ain't never been, Lord, I play at bein' somebody I ain't never been, Just to taste that green-sea honey, then the flames come lickin' in. [Verse 3] That flame is my judge, my keeper, and my grave, Yeah, that flame is my judge, my keeper, and my grave, And I shake because I don't know which one of me I'll save. [Verse 4] I tremble 'cause I'm losin' my innocent mind, Oh, I tremble 'cause I'm losin' my innocent mind, And the truth I owe my opponent—I can't speak it, I'm half-blind. [Verse 5] My fingers curl up on these keys, I can't hit send, Yeah, my fingers curl up on these keys, I can't hit send, 'Cause I don't know if I'm facin' my lover or my end. [Verse 6] I'm too scared to cut the chain and let it fall, Lord, I'm too scared to cut the chain and let it fall, So I'm neither my own ghost—nor myself at all. [Outro] [spoken/sung over a single, trembling guitar chord] And I tremble... Lord, I tremble... 'Cause this life game I'm playin'— I'm already losin' it all.
