speak to me honestly of pain
and of love
of things broken and cruel
of things soft and kind
give me a glimpse of what it is
that you are under your skin
of the things that can't be seen
in the mirror
or the reflection of blind eyes
show me the song
and the lyrics
and the sound
of the beauty you seek
and the truth your heart speaks
when you're alone in the dark
tell me your story
and I'll share all my lies
peel back the sin of your lust
and let the devil on your shoulder
****** what little innocence I have left
leave me naked and wanting
under the stars beneath your skirt
take me to the heaven of your universe
show me the arch of your spine
under the moon dreaming
of the curve of your lips
pull my heart from my ribs
and wear it around your neck
on a sting made of flame
pulled from a cloud
where lost dragons sleep
whisper your name
in the language of leaves
place a trail of the broken pieces of me
along the path of the mountain
that time has forgotten
and where eternity echoes
and madmen dance
and we need not make a sound
and we need not to pray
and we need not any of our human misery
and all we have to do is listen
as we melt into the rhythm
of a love unbroken
