The night
It burn[s] like fire
Sky rip[s] open,
the howling wind driving nails into [my] soul[]
The moon has turned red
And the stars fall from the sky
[I] turn away to face the cold enduring chill
I want shelter
I want to feel sunlight on my face
[I] cry without weeping
[I] talk without speaking
Scream without raising [my] voice
Nothing to win, and nothing left to lose
I await without you.
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls me
Love, slowly stripped away
[She's] all that's left to hold onto
I'm hanging on
In the hands of love
I went deeper into black - deeper into white
I was cold and you clothed me honey
But I was naked in the clothes you made
In the rain, tears
In the wind, laughter
[My] heartbeat. [I] hear my heart beat.
