Lyrics:

Like Water

You fall on my body like water.
Are you washing me boy
Of my dried, wounded joys?
Sending ever mores and ashes out
To sea ...

You run through my body in rivers.
Throw me in, hold me down,
I’ll will my limbs to bind, to sink, to drown
And drinking all without within,
Relinquishing, I’m surfacing
To breathe ...

You rage against my body like the ocean.
Strip me clean, bear me on,
Tear every beauty, fear and flesh I’ve worn
And carved into your living form
It echoes across new landscapes born
“To be ...”

And then you fall on my body like water.
You tend to my body like water,
Then you wrap my bones in the salt, the silk of your skin,
Abandoned on earth’s furthest rim,
A bare and broken offering and I
Believe ...
