beat after beat,
      enchanting my running feet;
    silver echo,
        left over from the silver city,
           rattling
     my heart's desire
   closer and closer to yours -
    
       vibrating
          underneath all that we have yet to say,
          under the tongue of Mercy,
            and I can't get out
   won't, don't wanna
   scratch another surface;
   just can't, don't wanna
   love a different stroke-

strip me of that freedom, babe,
   I want you to
strip me of that fear,
that memory of what I had
and what I lost -

   my heavy heart
     ripped through the lace,
       changed, flipped it, put us inside the space
- but I'm on my (bleeding) knees,
                            (pleading)
           asking for seconds,
           asking for you to look at me once more,


    The game is over,
       you've already saved me.
