Fill Me Up

Don't touch my hands
They're covered with blood
Don't reach out to me
I won't be understood
And I rest on your shoulder
Filled with tears I can't cry
Now don't let me go
I need-I need-
I need this comforting lie.

Roll me over
inside the water
Stir the feathers
of my broken wings
Cradle me softly
under the lonely winds
Fill me up
I'm empty within

You annoy me every day
I'll never understand
You make me react to you
You don't let me pretend
Then I rest in your arms
And try to find the cold inside
So that I won't need you
I can't-I can't-
I can't want the comforting lie

Roll me over
inside the water
Stir the feathers
of my broken wings
Cradle me softly
under the lonely winds
Fill me up
I'm empty within

Let me go back
to being alone
I don't know what to do
your warmth is my home
You cling to me always
I'm too weak now inside
I can't let you go
I need-I need-
I need the comforting lie

Roll me over
inside the water
Stir the feathers
of my broken wings
Cradle me softly
under the lonely winds
Fill me up
I'm empty within

The blood on my hands
slowly peels away
In the warm water
That's you, more every day
And you whisper into the night
with the words I can't deny
they keep echoing inside me
The truth-the truth
It's not just a comforting lie

Roll me over
inside the water
Stir the feathers
of my broken wings
Cradle me softly
under the lonely winds
Fill me up
I'm empty within

Roll me over
inside your waters
Touch the feathers
of my broken wings
Cradle me softly
against the lonely winds
In your waters
I'm free of sin.

With love.
Free of my sin.
And I swim.
In you.
