My body's a ruin, a temple condemned to spend its lonely life waiting for you to attend. To wander so slowly down the slope of my neck and linger a while in the arch of my breast, where a fountain is standing that has always run dry but it looks so inviting, you just have to try so you raise your parched lips to the fount for a taste before traveling on to the dip of my waist. Past the brow of my hip, to the hinge of my thigh where a river is flowing that pulls you into its tide, and in its warm waters you find resolution then go down to the temple to receive absolution.

The Temple
My body's a ruin, a temple condemned to spend its lonely life waiting for you to attend. To wander so slowly down the slope of my neck and linger a while in the arch of my breast, where a fountain is standing that has always run dry but it looks so inviting, you just have to try so you raise your parched lips to the fount for a taste before traveling on to the dip of my waist. Past the brow of my hip, to the hinge of my thigh where a river is flowing that pulls you into its tide, and in its warm waters you find resolution then go down to the temple to receive absolution.
