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
I've had this title and the first four lines for the longest time but I couldn't get myself to write more. That finally ended today and I am very happy with the end result.
