I shed tears and blood
With all that barred my flood
Stuck here in my throat
Like a knot choking every thought
I shed tears and blood
With all that barred my flood
Drops of shame bitterly salt
Streaming down to heal my faults
Dry my cheeks and damp my wounds
Even with the same tissues
(asking you)
Fill the sheets
A bathroom door
Or only a nose
From your tummy
This emptiness
Such a gorge
Or no more words
Amidst our bed
I shed tears and blood
With all that barred my flood
Flowers, pebbles, lots of sparks
A small tower, crabs in our marks
(there were)
I shed tears and blood
Of joy with liberation
Then I came to the sea eventually
Before the wave broke against the reef
Fill the sheets
A bathroom door
Or only a nose
From your tummy
This emptiness
Such a gorge
Or no more words
Amidst our bed
Fill this sleep
A bathroom door
Or only a nose
From your tummy
This emptiness
Such a gorge
Or no more words
Amidst our bed
Fill tonight
Some rain
Or an hour delay
To blow out the light
Keep me tightly...
Stand by me
