lyrics

I want your love, I want it orbiting me
Spiraling trajectory
Circling, accelerating
Closer ‘till we touch

I want your love, I want to see it slowly
Gaining instability
Knocked off course and headed toward me, faster, till we touch

‘Till there’s a flat picture of your love
Suspended at my surface, but
It’s scrambled up to much to recognize

I want your love, I want it yielded to me
To my singularity
Pulling you relentlessly
Closer ‘till we touch

I want your love, and I want your surprise on
Piercing my event horizon
Now you’re in my heart
And you aren’t ever getting out

‘Till there’s a flat picture of your love
Suspended at my surface, but
Inside I’ve crushed it all into a dot

Come closer, please
I’m dark and intriguing
Don’t you want to discover
All my mysteries?

Come closer, please
You have to come inside
To see the light
To know the truth, to die

I want your love, I want to burst and overflow
I want it setting me aglow
But oh, I don’t want you to know
How I treat it
Where it goes
