lyrics

FLESH

I, who feed my flesh with flesh, and you, who are too kind
And I, who could drink myself to death, while your lips taste no wine
I asked you for forgiveness, and you said, 'seventy times seven times'
I, who claim you put this barrier between us, and you say the barrier's all mine

I can't ask you how you believe, your faith is so beautiful, its origin I can't conceive of
I am an animal, a beast, demanding explanation of immortal love

This is my lament to you, I am surrounded by water, be my hopeful dove
But many have drowned trying to save one from drowning, I know you've got to keep your head up
From the age of a child, that is to say not very old, you were conditioned to limit your love
To only give so much and only take it from those, those who could help to raise you up

I can't ask you how you believe, your faith is so beautiful, its origin I can't conceive of
I am an animal, a beast, demanding explanation of immortal love

Good for you, whose faith will not save you from death, but will save you from life
My stomach hurts and my heart's much worse, thinking only about dying
Your reward for however overcoming your doubts will be to briefly enjoy a bit of life
And that's nothing to balk at, you know I would, I would take it any day, that flicker of light

I can't ask you how you believe, your faith is so beautiful, its origin I can't conceive of
I am an animal, a beast, demanding explanation of immortal love

I, who feed my flesh with flesh, and you, who are too kind
And I, who could drink myself to death, while your lips taste no wine
I asked you for forgiveness, and you said, 'seventy times seven times'
I, who claim you put this barrier between us, and you say the barrier's all mine

I can't ask you how you believe, your faith is so beautiful, its origin I can't conceive of
I am an animal, a beast, demanding explanation of immortal love

I, who feed my flesh with flesh
I, who feed my flesh with flesh
