Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here

That I don't understand

Your face saving promises

Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
I don't need them


I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long

As if I'm becoming untouchable

Contempt loves the silence

It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heart


They say that promises
Sweeten the blow

But I don't need them
No, I don't need them


I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable


I'm a slow dying flower
Frost killing hour

The sweet turning sour
And untouchable


O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness

The sadness
The weakness
I need this


I need
A lullaby

A kiss goodnight
Angel sweet
Love of my life

O, I need this

Do you remember the way

That you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?


Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers

I don't need them
No, I don't need them


O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness

The sadness
The weakness
I need this


I need
A lullaby

A kiss goodnight
The angel sweet
Love of my life

I need this

Is it dark enough?

Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?

Or I'm leaving

You better shut your mouth
Hold your breath
Kiss me now you'll catch my death

O, I mean it
