bitterness will run you through
 if you're in the way
 love broken by the dragon's wings
 prayed for one bright thing
 guess i'll have to wait
 dragged me out
 frightened by my nakedness
 frightened by my own sweet smell
 i know hate
 words spit into porous wind
 violence blows you in
 if you're in the way
 mine a victim of the cold parade
 silenced some might say
 guess it came too late
 dragged me out
 frightened by my nakedness
 frightened by my own sweet smell
 i know hate
 and it brings me comfort
 then it breaks my back
 precious pulls me under
 till I can't get back
 and you might be sorry
 but this time i know
 places fought for left alone
 sleep can't save me numbing
 dragged me out
 fin my nakedness
 in my own sweet smell
 i know i know i know
