Escape

In the silence of this shadowed room
And the walls are pulled toward the center
I'm afraid to be alone with you
'Cause I'm dry and full of splinters

Why do you still want to hold me
After a day like this?
All you can do is sing over me
As if all has been dismissed

You've escaped my word
You've escaped my word
I cannot consume what you offer
But in spite of myself, I am yours

Now I cannot speak this language
You have quenched the thirst of these demands
I can be no more than faithless
But this breath is from your hand
You've released me from conditions
Someone's already been down this road before
He's taken the scorn that I deserved
And my hand still moved the sword

You've escaped my word
You've escaped my word
I cannot consume what you offer
But in spite of myself, I am yours

My words cannot contain you
They cannot hold you down, 'cause your end fill you up
They cannot hold you down, 'cause your end fill you up
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
