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
