My Latest Confession
I was not the first one to love you
I wasn't even the only one then
I wonder how many came to call you
By the false name of friend
There is no friend that I knew like this
Nor one that I loved so well
Nor one that could hold me so perfectly
In this heavenly picture of Hell
This is my latest confession
My latest admission of guilt
Please give my regards to the next one
To surrender himself to your will
Your beauty is the beauty of silence
As the essence of music is peace
In the space between you and my longing
There lives the prince and the beast
You demanded from me a confession
As my mask fell to the floor
And the truth of my naked obsession
Was laid out before you once more
This is my latest confession
Of the truth you already knew
That all of my earthly possessions
Could never compare to you
I read of a saint who had loved you
Who loved your bones and your skin
Until one day he abandoned his virtue
And devoted himself to your sin
I don't know if you know that story
But I promise each word of it's true
The fire and the death and the glory
Lost to a vision of you
This is my latest confession
I have no one but myself to blame
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you
I would have done the same
I wasn't even the only one then
I wonder how many came to call you
By the false name of friend
There is no friend that I knew like this
Nor one that I loved so well
Nor one that could hold me so perfectly
In this heavenly picture of Hell
This is my latest confession
My latest admission of guilt
Please give my regards to the next one
To surrender himself to your will
Your beauty is the beauty of silence
As the essence of music is peace
In the space between you and my longing
There lives the prince and the beast
You demanded from me a confession
As my mask fell to the floor
And the truth of my naked obsession
Was laid out before you once more
This is my latest confession
Of the truth you already knew
That all of my earthly possessions
Could never compare to you
I read of a saint who had loved you
Who loved your bones and your skin
Until one day he abandoned his virtue
And devoted himself to your sin
I don't know if you know that story
But I promise each word of it's true
The fire and the death and the glory
Lost to a vision of you
This is my latest confession
I have no one but myself to blame
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you
I would have done the same
