Every word that falls from my lips falls on deaf ears and I suffocate
Now righteousness cast aside thrown to the ground
I close my eyes and I see you there
See you there

But my eyes deceive me
Every other sense says I'm alone
Now waking hours melt to sleepiness nights
And all fear has left me
If I could learn from my past
I'd possess the strength to walk away
Let your sweet taste fall from my lips
But it resonates

And now I hold this so dear
To let it fade would tear me apart
If I now left this all behind
Simply turned and walked away
Would the dawns light fall upon my face
To end this tragedy
Still deep in the long black
Behind the shimmering blue
I'd swear that I have seen
The last soul that I care to

So this is passion and it crawls upon my skin
And it sinks into my bones and I am whole again

So this is passion and it crawls upon my skin
And it sinks into my bones and I am whole again

And I feel it filling me
And I pray it will never end!
Now it burns within my veins
And I am writhing in ecstasy

My eyes deceive me
Every other sense says I'm alone
Now waking hours melt to sleepiness nights
And all fear has left me

Still deep in the long black
Behind the shimmering blue
I'd swear that I have seen
The last soul that I care to

So this is passion (so this is passion!) and it crawls upon my skin
And it sinks into my bones and I am whole again
So this is passion (so this is passion!) and it crawls upon my skin
And it sinks into my bones and I am whole
