Conductor

A not-so-scientifically-accurate song about a relationship that has died.

My hands are cold to the touch

My palms are stiff and white

They're begging for warmth

But the blood won't flow through

I try to break through the numbness

But I feel nothing when I touch you

We used to revive and energize each other

After long days of dealing with the outside world 

Now we just leave each other tired and empty

It's like we're dead but we're still breathing

We're two conductors that have lost the connection

But unlike before, this time I fear it's permanent

The bolt of lightning that flashed

Every time we came into contact

Has become a few stuttering sparks

The raging wildfire that once coursed

Through my veins to every inch of my body

Has weakened into the dullest of flames

We used to revive and energize each other

After long days of dealing with the outside world 

Now we just leave each other tired and empty

It's like we're dead but we're still breathing

We're two conductors that have lost the connection

But unlike before, this time I fear it's permanent

I don't want to believe it but it's true

There's nothing that'll bring the passion back

Whatever lingering embers of our love remain

Must be put out in order for us to move on

It's time to give up on salvaging me and you

From the ashes of what we once were

We used to revive and energize each other

After long days of dealing with the outside world 

Now we just leave each other tired and empty

It's like we're dead but we're still breathing

We're two conductors that have lost the connection

But unlike before, this time it's permanent

We used to revive and energize each other

After long days of dealing with the outside world 

Now we just leave each other tired and empty

It's like we're dead but we're still breathing

We're two conductors that have lost the connection

But unlike before, this time it's permanent
