your eyes are roving
while i am fuming
your pants are burning
the face i'm making
my ground is scorching
the scars you're leaving
i'm getting scared more than ever
i've trusted way too much truth in you
and i feel found out
even now, before your pipes are bursting
they will be exploding
in my space
on my lap
tough it up
i know what you'll say
this is the way it goes
people destroy who they love
especially those
because salvation
is often painful
sometimes, what happens
when you've finally confessed
i accept it with open eyes and open hands
i don't understand
never had it in my mind
that right
to put myself in your place
you're the kind of man
who counts sheep when he can't sleep
when he can't feel
he repeats the final reel
he spins his eyes until he's afraid of the dark
until he's the child in the park
where his mother took him when he was nine
too old to be spellbound
too young to forget the moment
she spins him around, spinning like a wheel
there's this woman who cannot stop him
from going faster and he goes faster
faster than a raindrop
faster than a teardrop
