Hold me down
I am strong
But not as strong as you
Or gravity
So pick me up
I feel so heavy
Breathe me in but don't say
You need me
How many times is one too many?
How many lungs get to breathe my body?
How many falls will push me right over
Until I go over the edge of it all?
Into a pit of hands
That's where my body always seems to land
Push me back
Against a wall
I've felt them all before
It's nothing new
But if you lay me down
The ground will burn me
So spin me round
It'll be OK as long as you can't
See me
How many crimes do I silently carry?
How many knives get to brush my body?
How many smiles has it been since I went over?
And over, and over, and over, and over
Into another stranger's dance
Another fine romance
My private pit of hands
Take your control
I was not quite whole to begin with
Then leave me cold
'Cause I have sold you all of my skin
Without a word
So no one heard a thing
You can touch me here
But never breach me
Pull me near
But don't expect to teach me
To obey
I may freeze and so I may stay
But you should know this is not OK with me
Some day I'll be strong as gravity
