Stitches descending like rosary beads
All these proverbs and prayers kept me down on my knees
No power on earth can undo what’s been done
But I can’t seem to keep your name off of my tongue
To these ears from your lips
With my eyes on your hips
With each caress, I confess
My faith was starting to slip
Pray, guide my hand
To feel your heart beat again
Body and blood know
What I’ve tried so hard to
Forgetting, not letting
Your echoes live under my skin
Can’t give in, can’t give in, can’t give in
Please forgive me, I feel so unholy
An offering I am still trying to deserve
Your shroud wrapped and bound clings to every curve
And I know what I’ve done and what I have become
But there’s no turning back, nowhere left to run
Said our love was a sin
But we can’t let them win
Though death prevails, rend the veil
Your name an invocation
Sorrow, sing through me
Bring you back to me
Body and blood know
What I’ve tried so hard to
Forgetting, not letting
Your echoes live under my skin
Let you in, let you in, let you in
Please forgive me, I feel so unholy
You know there’s no limit
To what I won’t do for you
Anything, I would move
Heaven and earth for you
Piety blinded our eyes
But now I can see
Destiny lies in this exquisite blasphemy
