lyrics

Articulate, coagulate the blood into a solid state.
Agitate and aggravate our hearts until you are too late.
Complicate and escalate, it will all disintegrate.
Then we'll contemplate and find a way that we can separate.

Give the colors meaning with the words caught in my mouth
I can feel it bleeding, they are trying to get out.
Don't you listen to me, I don't like to hear my words
so I'll keep reading Rumi, and he'll keep my soul gold and pure.

It's too late, too late, cannot articulate.
It's too late, too late, can't articulate this feeling.

Take what your heart wants to hold.
Burn the fear that leaves you frozen.
They will never make you whole.
There's no need to keep what you don't own.

It's too late, too late, cannot articulate.
It's too late, too late, can't articulate this feeling.
