the jack of spades adresses the queen of hearts (lyrics)

v1: i threw the stone into
the glass pond and watched the
shattered ripples spred like
wild fire
can't you feel it?
cause and effect?
can't you feel it?
breathing down your neck?

i stayed so long in
my little box
eveyone thought i'd died during
incubation
but my heart's been breaking since
i opened my eyes
and took my first breath of salvation

CHORUS: you said
don't stop
staring, i want your eyes on me
all the time
and there is no room for emotions
so don't you dare cry
don't stop
staring, i want your eyes on me
all the time
i only turned the volume up to
drown the memory of your voice

v2: now the sunset looks
slightly techni-colored
like an ugly old photograph
and you'll never know
cuz you'd never guess
you'll never know
but i could care less

cuz my heart's been breaking
since i opened my eyes
and took my first breath of salvation

CHORUS: you said
don't stop
staring, i want your eyes on me
all the time
and there is no room for emotions
so don't you dare cry
don't stop
staring, i want your eyes on me
all the time
i only turned the volume up to
drown the memory of your voice

bridge: i'm just a pawn at your fingertips
a lucky draw
a hit and miss
and you can call every glance a collision
and you can say that this
is ficticious
but i know what i saw
and i know who i am
you can't change the facts
you can only bend them

CHORUS: you said
don't stop
staring, i want your eyes on me
all the time
and there is no room for emotions
so don't you dare cry
don't stop
staring, i want your eyes on me
all the time
i only turned the volume up to
drown the memory of your voice

    This sounds like something I would say.
    Your poetry always hits me so much harder than other any one else's.
    I love your work.
    Every single piece of it. =)
