Inspired by an excerpt of Tenderloin, a forthcoming novel by Calvin Gimpelevich.
lyrics
Take my words with a delicate hand
I’ll face unafraid their consequences
Lustful and lewd they have spewed from my mouth
Cloaked in a language not understood
Convulsing, my body is lost in a fight
Warring inside
I am looking for a new type of love
Fulfilling enough to rid me of my lonely anguish
There’s an answer I’m longing to find, ahead or behind
To save me from the nightmare I’m dreaming
Let it come
There’s an image I’ve seen in the night
A haunting reflection of who I am
Or is it the person who I’m supposed to be
A parallel vision of a better life
The visceral feeling, I cannot deny
Connecting our bodies
I am looking for a new type of love
Fulfilling enough to rid me of my lonely anguish
I am shaking from what I have seen, this impossible dream
I’ll pack up my bags to find wholeness
Now set me free
