The Echo of Pleasure - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

Locked in your bedroom, the others distracted

Like sisters in secret you asked

With unusual substance if I wished I could feel it

Like the first or the second time we met

A rush then desire, a rush then desire

You cut me in

Though I knew I never was

Like you, beautiful, like you, born to rule

I can hear it still, faint and chill

The echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure,

Can’t return, can’t return

Just fade into these silent days

Oh, the echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

I was young and sick with love

Now I’m sick with something else

The curve of your spine as you knelt to your idol

Hollow and holier you swore

It was only for pleasure, the rush then desire

You turned on me, though I knew I never was

Like you, scared to live, like you, full of shit

I can hear it still, I can hear it still

The echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure,

Can’t return, can’t return

Just fade into these silent days

Oh, the echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

I was young and sick with love

Now I’m sick with something else

That was then and this is nowhere

You are nowhere near

That was then and this is nowhere

'Cause you are nowhere near

And I can still hear

The echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure,

Can’t return, can’t return

Just fade into these silent days

Oh, the echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

I was young and sick with love

Now I’m sick with something else

Oh, the echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

Echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

Echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

Echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

Echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure

Echo of pleasure, echo of pleasure
