I want to be clean
Ten thousand men in your hair
I want my skin
I want the lights to shine
But I know this way of the boar
Ten thousand years in your shadow
I won't walk alone in these forests
Without the beast that follows me
Territories and pine needles
To stab my breaking heart
Your hollow-cheeked love
My creature fear

A sound is ringing in my ears
I love the idea of night
But the moon is nearly full where you are
And the apartment is all but empty
Not a rock of Gibraltar
Not a stone's throw away
Not now
Now
My blood is composed of music
I love the idea of light
But the stars don't want to shine where you are
And my left shoe knows of holy souls
Not forty years in the desert
Not sacred pilgrimage
Not now
Now
Abraham
Take instead the ram
Sacrifice unto his name

The disappearing nature of things
A man with hammers in hands
And pain in his heart
Breaking apart walls and sidewalks
Everything
He falls in love with
Do we wonder which way the wind blows?
Well
I only wanted to say I love you
But I can't be happy
Not until your broken
Broken like me

I have to go to sleep
Hoping I will not wake up
Because you gave all your love
To another
As I become a ghost
I watch your skin grow cold
Because you lost all your hope
For tomorrow

While I lost all my hope
For today

I have to go to sleep
And somber in my dreams
Before my life will slip away
The last thing I will think
Is how
I love you

You were my world
Still are
I cannot be myself right now
I cannot love you like I should
You were me heart
Unbeat
But all the blood is me
And your names the drops I bleed
You were my hope
And I cannot forget
The way it made me feel
To hold hope close to my heart
You were my love
My words
My dream
My
Everything

Walking is going to be quite difficult now
Without the hope that I can take another step

My hands create the stars in the night
Building brilliance from the dust in the sky
It's only light
It's only seen if you care to look

My hands caress the skin of your thigh
My fingers know your name as my dreams of your eyes
It's only love
It can only be felt if you let me touch

My hands are waging war with the forces of sin
And every particle and every place we begin
It's only hope
It can only be whatever you want

My hands are giving feeling in the chest of a soul
This planting seeds that only grow and unfold
It's only me
It's only your heart and the way that it beats
