gold

When your hands touched your face

They came back gold

Dripping from your fingertips

Unmasked, unmade

I'm so afraid, but I'm here

Dripping from your fingertips

Inside you'll stay

Closer than my own heart

You beat in its place

Alone we lay

I'm so afraid of you

And the way that you want me

-

And when the salt left my eyes

You were there beside me

Tiny and naked and screaming for freedom

Your paper skin aglow

You were right

I was wrong

You shake my shoulders trying to wake me up

Good god, I've been so cold to you

-

Inside my cage

Closer than my own heart

You beat in its place

Alone we lay

I'm so afraid of you

And the way that you want me

You were right

I was wrong

You shake my shoulders trying to wake me up

Good god, I've been so cold to you

-

Inside you'll stay

Closer than my own heart

You beat in its place

You beat in its place
