Lyrics
Nine
This beauty opened up my senses
I basked in its warm radiance
The love was something I recognized
It reminded me...
I thought of home
I still remember feeling something
but the commitment's made, the beauty's gone
and it brings me to my knees
My love
You weigh upon me
No, my love
You put your weight upon me
This beauty took down my defenses
Why not embrace?
There's no bite, I'd thought
I gave it all it asked of me, all I had in me
It wanted more
I still remember feeling something
The love has gone, the longing starts
and it brings me to my knees
No, my love
You weigh upon me
Oh, my love
You put your weight upon me
So please forgive me now
I want out of this, I want free of this
This just wasn't worth it all
All you gave to me, you took back in multiples
So promise me when this is done, it's all done
So promise me to make me blind, to make me numb, to make me whole
You weigh on me
Anaesthetize me
You weigh on me
This love of mine
You're draining me
Anaesthetize me
You weigh on me
This love of mine
I don't know how I know what's right, but I know this isn't.
I need to find the median, the balancepoint, where all I put in is all I get out. I need to stop the cycle of karmic debt to get me out of the picture.
There has to be a way to get this weight off my shoulders.
As soon as I commit, there's no more beauty, only obligation.
If I'd known the apple tasted like this, I'd never have taken a bite.
Take away this sense of good and evil, right and wrong.
I know now, if the energy passes right through you, if you don't try to take it into yourself, you can never be broken, you can never die.
We'll live forever.
You weigh on me
Anaesthetize me
You're draining me
This love of mine
You weigh on me
Anaesthetize me
You're draining me
This love of mine
