Intimacy Scathed lyrics

Humans consider

The most exciting moments

Those of intimacy

Filled with ecstacy interacted

Yet none would come

Claiming to openly speak

That yet beyond sex

Is the taking of a life

Not the long distance stroke

An eye to eye locking

Where conscious sees

The heart and soul touch

Any coward can scurry off

Afar, remotely untouchable

The test of being unanswered

Savagery of the spirit

Viewing ebbing life

Requires courage, callused

A moment in time

When the odds are equal

The outcome is unknown

Uncertainty and fear grind

Like gritted teeth desperate

Stabbing at mortality

After the interlude

The ritual of demise

A need for absolution

Some prone to purge

Intimacy brings feelings

Exhilaration or shame

A celebration of being

The brand of grief

Nothing ever the same

No going back to before

An act, a decision

A giving, a taking

The copulation of the spirits

Even in briefest moments

Leaving indulable impressions

That mark the very soul

Moments mistaken moans

Outcries for heaven's sake

Muted by the hand of Cain

Another intimacy scathing
