I feel a strong hand on my breast, fondling it so, so gentle Another hand on my cheek, stroking it with such tenderness that it lulls me to sleep And the hands don't move in my restful state, They are frozen in the moment But years pass, and the hands melt Because now I am awake Now, my body is hot, burning with fury So blistering the room is up in flames Because now I see that the touch was neither gentle nor tender And that there were a dozen hands.

Ephemerally Everlasting
I feel a strong hand on my breast, fondling it so, so gentle Another hand on my cheek, stroking it with such tenderness that it lulls me to sleep And the hands don't move in my restful state, They are frozen in the moment But years pass, and the hands melt Because now I am awake Now, my body is hot, burning with fury So blistering the room is up in flames Because now I see that the touch was neither gentle nor tender And that there were a dozen hands.
