Lyrics
The Healing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These are just words from the void of wanting
Externalised in melody and chanting
I want to be where darkness dwells
A place in the city where night-time swells
And spills itself over to the break of day
With only eyes and hands to feel my way
Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will
I'm close enough to smell the drink on your breath
Be under your skin being fully dressed
To give and give and give 'til there's nothing left
Take and take and take 'til you've all you need
Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will
In the guise of strangers
Lead me back
Let me heal
Until I feel you touch me I can't dissolve
Make water of my heart, make powder of my bones
There's more pain here than I can keep inside me
No place I know where it can't find me
Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will
Take and take and take me 'til I start to bleed
Take me out of myself and set me free
Free from the hurt to be absolved
Until I feel you touch me I can't let go
Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will
In the guise of strangers
Lead me back
Let me heal
