lyrics

A single blood-red rose
Is draped across her pallid snow-white English chest
A knife held to her heart by her own intellect
Drawing on a holy breath
She must run so fast just to keep from falling down
She wishes she were blind
Then she could turn these broken wings
Into garden beds; flower beds

She's drinking in your eyes
In the hope that maybe you can read her well
She know all things must pass - eventually
Fire and earth has made her stone
Now she's found herself at the foot of the moon all alone
Pushing through the cracks
You can't hide in the dark forever
Like an unborn child; broken child

She's longing for reunion
With a source of light greater than the self
Shedding all her skin in the dirt and mud
But wholeness is everything
And all along the path to heaven are heavenly angels,
Mystics, shamans and a gifted child
Stripped to the core of essential self
When everything else is taken it will sustain her

Drawing on a holy breath
She must run so fast just to keep from falling down
She wishes she were blind
But you can't hide in the dark forever
Like an unborn child; holy child
