maybe I talk too much - Siren Eclipse

Verse 1

Rain on the tiles of Almería

I count the hours you never came

Your name dissolves like sugar in tea

The kettle screams and I let it scream

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I hold too tight

Maybe I hold too long

Maybe the rope is just my own hands

Chorus

I am only mortal coils

Tied in knots I can't untie

I am only mortal coils

Wrapped around a borrowed sky

Verse 2

Whispers crawl across my ceiling

Smaller than the things I said

They gnaw the corners of my sleeping

And nest inside my quiet head

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I talk too much

Maybe I talk too loud

Maybe the noise is only me

Chorus

I am only mortal coils

Tied in knots I can't untie

I am only mortal coils

Wrapped around a borrowed sky

Bridge

Strings that fray and fingers bleeding

Salt on every chord I play

Annoying as a hundred whispers

Loving you the same old way

Chorus

I am only mortal coils

Tied in knots I can't untie

I am only mortal coils

Wrapped around a borrowed sky
