Bilingual
Cold sheets separate us
Like an unaccepted death
Your skin miles away
But just a fraction of a breath
Brittle bones and bitter blame
We play a hollow, hollow game
To keep my feelings well-contained
At arm's length
A meter of air
At arm's length
I know it's not fair
Watch your step
Mind the gap
I draw the map to keep you
At arm's length
At arm's length
Once more I'll crack the door
But I won't invite you in
Jaw tight, chin to the skies
Never dare to meet your eyes
Count the ceiling tiles, 1-2-3-4
We don't talk about the war
To keep myself from wanting more
At arm's length
A meter of air
At arm's length
I know it's not fair
Watch your step
Mind the gap
I draw the map to keep you
At arm's length
At arm's length
If I let you in the calm might shatter
If I let you in the glass might crack
I need you near me
But stay behind the line
At arm's length
A meter of air
At arm's length
I know it's not fair
Watch your step
Mind the gap
I draw the map to keep you
At arm's length
At arm's length
Measured distance
My insistence
In my defense
Summoning the strength
Safe in this space
Knowing my place
Forever at arm's length
At arm's length
At arm's length
