My being vanishes between sloth and pride Dismantling my heritage of hours, time Crazy I escape this terminal dragging Projected desires I cling to you, affection and habit You hide out of my soot Affection and habit You slide down my despair, but you can't adore me 'Cause you're not showing yourself to me You're not showing yourself bare to me Everyday it's closer, the whisper of a blood and tears river It's closer, the whisper of a blood and tears river Every time I ask for the world to answer I carve my brain for the coming word to free me in a new wonder Each night I dive in my room My city, my life's loving people My prison where I serve my sentence I cling to you Affection and habit You hide out of my soot Affection and habit My body, organic universe Everyday is closer, the whisper of a blood and tears river It's closer, the whisper of a blood and tears river
