lyrics

Lyrics:

The waves keep crashing in
The water swallows us whole
Without clothes I am exposed
But you already knew me

All the secrets I keep
Are revealed with each drip
Of the sandcastle sand from your strong hand
As we build a temporal home

Despite the flaws of our gendered parts
The roles we play in the dark

We are the same at the heart
We are the same at the heart

The heart is the body
The body the mind
And ours combine
And ours combine

The heart is the body
The body the mind
And ours combine
And ours combine

It grows larger, this love
We sink deeper from the world above
My throat is full and I need you to breathe
I am drowning but you speak to me

We must carry on into the light
(into the light…)

Breaking the surface
I am born anew
Tell me, world
What I can do

Despite the flaws of our gendered parts
The roles we play in the dark

We are the same at the heart
We are the same at the heart

The heart is the body
The body the mind
And ours combine
And ours combine

The heart is the body
The body the mind
And ours combine
And ours combine

Strip me down
Expose me now

I am nobody
My mind is my body

Strip me down
Expose me now

I am nobody
My mind is my body

Strip me down
Expose me now

I am nobody
My mind is my body

You are me and I am you
it’s paradox and it’s the truth

You are with me when I’m alone
I am shining with the love you have shone

My sun, my sun
What have we done?
