Surviving The Urge - Ash

I keep my hands busy So they don't call your name Count the cracks in the ceiling Like they're part of my brain Your coat still on the chair Like a dare I can't erase I walk past the mirror And forget my own face It starts in my ribs Then climbs up my throat One step from the edge One word from the blow Surviving the urge Surviving the urge I bite through the wire I hold my nerve Surviving the urge Surviving the urge If I fall into you I'll never return I left your key by the sink Didn't throw it away That little silver warning Still knows my shape I hear your laugh in the hall When the pipes start to sing [bass accent on the next line] Then I press my palm to my mouth Till the craving thins It starts in my ribs Then climbs up my throat One step from the edge One word from the blow Surviving the urge Surviving the urge I bite through the wire I hold my nerve Surviving the urge Surviving the urge If I fall into you I'll never return I almost called At the red hand sign Almost let your outline Cross my line But the glass in my chest Held one more time And I chose the bruise Over the crime Surviving the urge Surviving the urge I bite through the wire I hold my nerve Surviving the urge Surviving the urge I wanted your poison Slipping through my veins Surviving the urge Surviving the urge I'm still in one piece Barely on earth
