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
