hold back the night
and quiet my aching mind
touch the velvet cover
that hides my soul from you
take me by the hand
and lead me to the place
where dark and light
meet and kiss on the
lips of the abyss
the lips of the abyss
draw your knife across
the bleeding cuts I have
on my heart, in my hand
drain it all away
fuel all my nights
with the sounds of your need
raise me up to the light
and tear me to shreds
in the dark
see me as I am
and try not to run from me
all that I have
is poured on the water
poured on the water
poured on the water
can you see me as I am?
