You rip up my structures
the way I live seems stranger now
you shake the pillars of my mind
the way I see things have changed

Filled with fear of love forever
gone away with feeble strain
sometimes there is no self defense
I am hanging in at least

You look no meaner than this
discomfort feeds all hollowness
badly chosen words infect my scars
and they are all my own

Share my pain and touch my tears
I ask for the ghost to return
so She may wash away this world
brake the doors that keep us in

Later than the moon knows its colour
I will sail away aimlessly
leaving no sign of life behind
taking all there is to love
