I tied myself with wire

To let the horses roam free

Playing with the fire

 Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi-precious

We were barely conscious

 Two souls too smart to be

 In the realm of certainty

Even on our wedding day

 We set ourselves on fire

 Oh God, do not deny her

 It’s not if I believe in love

 If love believes in me

 Oh, believe in me

 At the moment of surrender

 I folded to my knees

 I did not notice the passers-by

 And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole

 At the altar of the dark star

 My body’s now a begging bowl

 That’s begging to get back, begging to get back

 To my heart

 To the rhythm of my soul

 To the rhythm of my unconsciousness

 To the rhythm that yearns

To be released from control

 I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine

 I could see in the reflection

 A face staring back at me

 At the moment of surrender

 Of vision over visibility

 I did not notice the passers-by

 And they did not notice me

 I was speeding on the subway

 Through the stations of the cross

 Every eye looking every other way

 Counting down ’til the train would stop
