lyrics

I am a low and broken man
But I a strong and I will hold you to your word
Your body pressed against the bed
With all the weight of my dominion on your world
For I was made a battering ram
And all your walls will fold like plaster in the rain
This mouth was made to be fed
So now you stand to lose that which I stand to gain

Here we are lost, we are pure, we are broken
The picture of possession, we are naked and this is love
And in all our fury and our beauty we will tear it all to pieces
This distance we've constructed lies in ruin at our feet

You are a sweet and broken girl
All your power hides in the spaces in between
One-by-one your petals will unfurl
As I am drawn into the places left unseen
For you were made a flowering stem
The very heart of which was meant to be revealed
And I've held fast to your garment's hem
Gave my dignity away for the chance to be healed

Now the silence, it is splintered
By the whisper threads you're spinning
You have drawn me to your well
I will drink, and you will pull me in

And all my weight in you is sinking
There's no coming up for air
There's no grace in my surrender
I came stumbling unprepared
And I slipped into your slumber
Like some animal ensnared
Who would take you for a hunter
with your skin so pale and fair?
Stretched before me like a canvas
To be painted as I dare
The still and sacred altar
For this Offering I've prepared
For you were made a vacant temple
And I have come to say my prayers
But you unravel my religion
Like a braid that holds your hair
So here receive this body
Which was broken for to share
So here receive my body
Which is broken for to share
