Come to me she says
Come to me and love
And I fall
And I fly
She smells like home
And she tastes like redemption
Yet in her eyes I see decay
And on her lips a thousand lies
In a storm of statues
I think I'm the only one
Sorrow fills her ocean
Death rides her past
So broken
So beautiful
She leaves me as wreckage
She leaves me in ruin
I cannot tell her
Of dreams that lay dying
Of Gods now slain
Of a paradise lost
and a Hell reclaimed
So still I wait
Crucifixion machine
I just keep handing her nails
I cannot bleed enough to fill her
So she runs to her prison
Her freedom is from fear
Of open doors
And open hands
Of open graves
And open hearts
So still I wait
I hate her for her cowardice
Her beauty and her lies
But I love her for the love
Buried burning in her eyes
So I remain eternal
A dripping open wound
Come to me I say
Come to me and love
Come to me and love
Come to me and love
So still I wait.
