Terminal Velocity

In your eyes are my wings and the ocean in which I drown,
I can’t control your choosing.
In your sky I can see heaven excluding me,
I can’t control these feelings crowding me.
I’m a river you take me up and hold me high,
your sky enfolds me until I’m dry.
You need pain with your pleasure,
I need pleasure to ease my pain,
you open your arms wide as the world
and I fall like rain.

In your clouds are my dreams and the blindness of my despair,
I can’t control your passions.
In a vision came to me a bird of prey and spoke of you,
but I can’t make out what he’s saying to me.
I’m a river you take me up and hold me high,
your sky enfolds me until I’m dry.
You need pain with your pleasure,
I need pleasure to ease my pain,
you open your arms wide as the world
and I fall like rain.
