Paroles de Ashes

He shut up like a rose, the scar of my belly How I wanted him to rise up with the clouds How I asked for love, received the wounds on cheek, the nights empty sleep, hopeless words I can't keep He searched just like a magnet, Oh the metal is me How I needed him to draw it in, protect me from belief How I pleaded then to end again, heal my rotting skin, pleaded then, asked for sin, something I can keep Soul of my soul, do you feel me? Touch the beating, heart of my heart Flesh of my flesh Mouth of my mouth Soul of my soul, do you feel me? Touch the beating, heart of my heart He shuned me like disease, the feathers in my eyes How I need his light to purify the darkness deep inside How I asked for warmth, received snow and sleet, the burns on my feet, white and unsoiled sheets He reached for all desire, kept his hands far from me How my mind built high could rectify such pain and deceit How the sorrow plunged, concrete and ashen weeps The porous bed it reeks with unresolved peeks Soul of my soul, do you feel me? Touch the beating, heart of my heart Flesh of my flesh Mouth of my mouth Soul of my soul, do you feel me? Touch the beating, heart of my heart And now I sleep on ladders So afraid I'll fall
