Take you above ground
And let the light poison us
In that bloody way
Time has got my number
Calling me down
And I wonder
How you painted that soul
Of yours
What lovely stains
But it must be water now
Because it's losing its shape
And I can't picture it
Anymore
Take you into those heavy woods
And let the trees bury us
In that ghostly way
Confession has got my tongue
Drawing me out
And I wonder
How I lost that heart
Of mine
What lovely beating
But it must be burning now
Because it's nothing but fire
And I can't endure it
Anymore
Take you under those cold waters
And let the sea consume us
In that raging way
Passion has got my mind
Pulling me apart
And I wonder
How we share this skin
Of ours
What lovely death
But it must be over now
Because it's devoured us both
And we can't bear it
Anymore
