In the silence of this shadowed room
And the walls are pulled toward the center
I’m afraid to be alone with you
‘Cause I’m dry and full of splinters
Why do you still want to hold me
After a day like this?
All you can do is sing over me
As if all has been dismissed
(?)
I cannot consume what you offer, but in spite of myself I am yours
Now I cannot speak this language, you have quenched the thirst of these demands
I can be no more than faithless, but this bread is from your hand
You’ve released me from conditions, somebody’s already been down this road before
He’s taken the scorn that I deserved, though my hand still moved the sword
(?)
I cannot consume what you offer, but in spite of myself I am yours
My words cannot contain you,
They cannot hold you down, cause your end, fill you up (x2)
