lyrics

bitter winds creep onto my skin
where darkness is overbearing
i am sitting standing kneeling i can't tell where i am
i'm somewhere else
i went to where the colors end
and i always end up next to you at night
throw acid in my eyes and maybe i can see
turn my brain inside out so that i can be someone else

(he came to me and i wept for the days when my tongue wasn’t tied and i could whisper the words he wanted to hear and the words didn’t kill me because i knew how to breathe and how to hold on and how to reach the moon with my hands.
he came to me and memories flooded back of never-ending sun and walking didn’t hurt and my feet weren’t sore and i could stay standing because i was better then i was newer then and i didn’t know yet the creatures of the deep.
he came to me and i let go of all that i had learned in those years and i became a child and his hands were still as soft as ever and he touched me he touched me because i was wounded and he had to rescue me.
i went to him and the sky went dark and i threw myself into the air because i knew he would catch me)
