Slide Away

The low road whispers
'come to me,'
silent mother
cries for me.
The shadow's reaching
pull at me
help me father
speak to me.

It's unrelenting
it's unforgiving
I want to tell you
I want to hold you.

Slide away
I need someone to blame
There's nothing left of your beauty
I don't feel you inside me.
Slide away
I need to feel your pain
You lost your soul to the heavens;
don't ask for redemption.

The skies are bleeding
patiently
dead love's losing
purity.
The fire is burning
inside me
love is blinding
forgive me.

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me?
I want to tell you
I want to hold you.

Slide away
I need someone to blame
There's nothing left of your beauty
I don't feel you inside me.
Slide away
I need to feel your pain
You lost your soul to the heavens;
don't ask for redemption.
