I Jumped Into the Heart of a Black Situation Lyrics

So there we lay, my head in your hands
Two lost souls lost together
I tried to say it but I choked on my tears
I don't need the devil in me
I'm depending on you do not be afraid
It's taken so much for me to get here
They've taken so much from me
But they will not destroy our heaven
And they can't take you away from me

I knew I'd found perspective
From our tender and truthful connection
I jumped into the heart of a black situation with my eyes closed
It left my soul in fragments
Like the glass you shattered against the wall
We make up, we share the blow out
Then we drink until we fall to our knees
It's taken so much for me to get here
They've taken so much from me
But they will not destroy our heaven
And they can't take you away from me
You understand me, your gentle smile reassures me
I want to stay awake and let this conversation be infinite
I listened enraptured by the s***es in between the words you didn't say
Your eyes said everything to me
And in that moment I truly learned to live

It's taken so much for me to get here
They've taken so much from me
But they will not destroy our heaven
And they can't take you away from me
