lyrics

Frosted screens like candy apple poison
A sweet bite a slumber so deep
I have to laugh when I walk out at night
And see the flickering blue light

I can't see you now
But I can hear you still
A cup labeled with love
that screens can never fill

Walks down paths of pasty trees
While snow falls I taste you on the breeze
Blue winds, our fingers intertwine
While pinpricks stream into your open eyes

I can't hear you now
But I can feel you still
A cup labeled with love
That screens can never fill

Push me like a weight as I try to say something
That I would like to say
Do I do as I would like to do
Do I do or do screens do tell what's on your mind

I can't feel you now
But I can move you still
A cup labeled with love
That screens can never fill

Never
(repeat)
