So, I will let you hold me
In your arms, ever near
Though in my mind, I'm hiding
From the past, through my tears
If I can only answer to myself
Destruction's near
No carrion comfort
No shroud over my ears
Still, I can stand through loneliness
With you to hold me firm
From penitent to paradise
No finity, no years
If you want me, come and get me
You know just where I'll be
In the basement, sipping bourbon
Staring at the sea
