i'll find a way to save my skin
that precious way it holds me in
reminds you of holy days you once believed in
please don't stop
there's something new
stirring up the elements under the surface
the first thing i want to do
is to overcome my temperament
let the arrow find its purpose
there is the eloquence
and there is the difference
between what is said
and what is never said
the first thing i want to do
is to champion the tenderness i once believed in
please don't stop
tried to be a materialist
'til i was treated like simple flesh
tried to mention all my sins
but i didn't know where to begin
should i forget them?
or should i let them begin again?
