Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone
Which way did you go
When you crossed that line
Lost control you said
And the fault was mine
I made you lay your hands
Once gentle and sweet
Now harshly unforgiving
With a searing heat
Move away from the strike zone
And into sleep
Let flesh and bone stand
As the soul retreats
Where did you go and
Who took your place
Strangers eyes burn from Holes in a familiar face
You can cut me deeper
Than ever before
But you won't touch me there
As backing away, this heart shuts the door.
