How fiercely can I spill my love
Into this raging whirlpool
That neither hears or feels me
Spinning in its icy grip

How long will I whisper this lament
Fear myself alone in your arms
Find and lose my trust with every day
Plead for it and toss it away

And scramble for it in the dirt
Until my nails blacken and crumble
Until my fingertips are bone
Until your name is ****** on my lips
