Translation
Bilingual
I'm on my back again
facing the wall
Hear the echoes
screaming down the hall
I know I have to rectify
I know I have to stall
I know I have to kill it off
before it takes control
Baby can you hear me
Are you there?
D'you feel me hovering
smell my perfume moistening the air?
Three days on the sweat machine
we worshipped on our knees
A quiver on the polygraph
a shudder of release
I'm crouching in the corner
I'm staring at my hands
A hard nocturnal point of view I thought you'd understand
You coaxed me like a matador
you begged me to derail
Every single moral code you hid beneath your veil
The sweat under my wedding band
the wires in my brain
The sacraments we ridiculed
the deeds we cannot name
And the waves come crashing down
The colours swirling around
And it's so damned beautiful
Shadows crawl from the sky
Tears well up in my eyes
And it's so damned beautiful
This skin is stifling
this clock is fast
My legs are trembling
somewhere in the past
The hunger's trapped inside me
that godforsaken sound
The fire in the molecules
sucks me to the ground
Baby can you feel me?
There's something in the way
Must be the sirens
leading us astray
The blood under my fingernails
the smile beneath his skin
I know he's somewhere trapped inside
somewhere deep within
I'm kneeling down beside him
I'm punching at his chest
Shapeless as a souvenir
I try to get him dressed
She's scraping off the evidence
a tiny speck of dust
Every trace of carnal sin
every drop of lust
The static in her overcoat
the closing of the door
The covenant abandoned beside me on the floor
And the waves come crashing down
The colours swirling around
And it's so damned beautiful
Shadows crawl from the sky
Tears well up in my eyes
And it's so damned beautiful
