Sinkhole

I knew before you really showed yourself to me
Just what could be in store
But I was burning up with lust
And even loving like a supplicant I held you in my trust

Soooo sacred how we played with the profane
Music, Mahler made me maudlin, Venus rise in shame

You stupid girl what were you doing there alone
so cold so far from home

So seamless
How the psyche sub divides
So show me no more bruises
Show me what's inside

I cut my way through the thorns to reach you, every mother fuckin day
But I won't bleed for you no more
I am grieving bad I need to leave
I should have gone before

You are sinking like a sunset from my sight
The voids been created
It migrates to the surface
Swallowing the light

Maybe I'll need to grow a thicker skin
Become more snake-like, more Italian (4.41)

I could learn to hate my feelings, reel them in, be a chameleon
I could try to live below the water line like an amphibian
What is left to lift us up, and out of here, this hole we're living in
Can you even start to understand the sand you're sinking in?

It hurts to hide the truth, it's harder than before
And she's so warm and tender
