Artifice - Sundara Karma

Head to toe and skin to skin where do I end

Where do you begin to join the thread

Taking back the only thing a boy desires

Like standing in a wind swept wild fire

Emotions I’ve wasted

Buried in cold hard ground

If only to taste it

Crashing around in my mouth

Pushing through my throat

Taking me down to where I’ve been before

But nothing can get it off

No nothing can get it off

At times I’ve tried I’ve even done my very best

Been on more bathroom floors than a plumbers vest

I give and give but I don’t Know what to receive

I pray but there’s no voice to answer me

Emotions I’ve wasted

Buried in cold hard ground

If only to taste it

Crashing around in my mouth

Pushing through my throat

Taking me down to where I’ve been before

But nothing can get it off

No nothing can get it off

But nothing can get it off

No nothing can get it off

And they hurt you

They’ll tell you they know just how it feels

But they hurt you

And then someone

A loved one

Deserts you

And you’ve got to let it go

But nothing can get it off

No nothing can get it off

But nothing can get it off

No nothing can get it off
