and in a world that has no name
how am i to face my shame
close it, let it hide my grace
and place my hate in the face
in the love that i know best
accuse, and put the blame at rest
refuse to cry these tears for you
be tested, and be tried and true
to live my life like all the rest
and start to wane under your crest
that will not let my shoulders fall
nor let me drop to knees and crawl
yet you were always there for me
to pick me up, to set me free,
till pleasure let you strike me down
and now i sink beneath the ground
once looped, i sweet around you curled
now overused, your hand will hurl
my trust away from blessed lands
and i am left with only stance
to save me from old dreams again
my doubts, no doubt, will rise in sin
unloved, unwed, and shedding skin
tired beyond life, i tire of this
and flee to memories of the kiss.
