Open your arms and let me in
Give me escape from my hell
Give me a moment of heaven
Rock me softly as you whisper
Magical words to sooth the screams
Reach in and find the tear in my heart
Hold me together for a second
Let me enjoy the warmth
Melt this icy knife inside
Give me your love
Pour it into my mouth
Until this bottomless well is full
Ease the craving
Scare the vultures away
Give me the strength to live
Until you come back again
