lyrics

Softly bitten skin before me
And eyes enthralling by design
If I perish here
inside this febrile prison
I leave you all my hopes and spite

"But I don't want comfort.
I want God,
I want poetry,
I want real danger,
I want freedom,
I want goodness.
I want sin."

Marble lips merge into my own
Your body spurring its desires
And all I know
Is I am barely breathing
Its only hopeless if I try

"We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always
and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in
hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers
desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single
self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit
is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings,
insights, fancies - all these are private and, except through symbols
and at second hand, incommunicable."

If you leave it open
I'm crawling back on top
I don't mind
If you mind
But I'll make you understand why
All the words are spoken
And now I have the floor
I'll make you
forget your name
Forget why you ever came here
