Following the unique acoustic Flamenco guitar introduction to this song, there is a sustained, deep, teeth-rattling bass note that most people who have only listened to this song on headphones have never heard.
The final section of this song is an amazing mix of the pre-chorus with the chorus where...
[Verse 1]
Suck my mouth
Suck my pain away
Suck my mouth
Suck my pain away
Helplessness
I am hard to stain
Potentially inappropriate...
[Pre-Chorus]
I am naked
Before you
Look at me
You came for me
I pray to you
You are in me...
[Chorus]
You are my religion
You are my religion
I'm loving you
You're loving me
Brutal truth
It is profound
Can you hear the sound
Of my breath?
[Verse 2]
Suck my mouth
Suck my pain away
Suck my mouth
Suck my pain away
Inhale me, Inhale all my life
Perverted love on the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
I am naked
Before you
Look at me
You came for me
I pray to you
You are in me...
[Chorus]
You are my religion
You are my religion
I'm loving you
You're loving me
You are my religion
You are my religion
I'm touching you
You're touching me
[Bridge]
Intoxicated with your breath
My eyes close
I am a mess
Starving and cold and I need your love...
You keep me real
You lift me up
Prayer soft
I am in love
Devotee of your immortal love
[Pre-Chorus]
Brutal truth
It is profound
Can you hear the sound
Of my breath?
[Chorus - sung in parallel round]
You are my religion (I am naked)
You are my religion
I'm loving you (Before you)
You're loving me (Look at me)
You are my religion (You came for me)
You are my religion
I'm touching you (I pray to you)
You're touching me (You are in me)
[Chorus - repeat and fade]
