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
