Teach Me To Love

(album: Pain, Love & Poetry - 2008)

I want you to hurt me
But it's all just a shade of the dark
I'm afraid
Mourning rain
And the one I left behind
I want you to hurt me
But I don't want to fall in mirage
Plastered grey
Frowning strength
But your faith is what I find

If you teach me to love
If you teach me to breath
I'll paint the beauty
For all your needs
If you teach me to love
Promise you'll be stronger then
And I'll burn you with a love that never shades

I want you to hurt me
I'm a casualty of your touch
A pierced dove
All alone
With your crimson venting slow
I want you to hurt me
'Cause my pain has drifted away
Blinking calm
But I feel
Dust of salt from down below
