You've pledged to make a pilgrimage
To touch my vitiated skin,
To trace my scars, trace my spine,
Make the stars align.
Something new will begin.
I'll step into a new skin.
I feel frissons at the thought of it.

You've pledged to make a pilgrimage
To touch my vitiated skin,
To trace my scars, trace my spine,
Make the stars align.
Something new will begin.
I'll step into a new skin.
I feel frissons at the thought of it.
