The Healing - Anne Clark

I want to be where darkness dwells

A place in the city where night-time swells

And spills itself over to the break of day

With only eyes and hands to feel my way

Take me to a place where darkness swells

The pain to a point where it can’t be held

Burst and break it and let it all spill

Through the dark city night where angels will

I’m close enough to smell the drink on your breath

Be under your skin being fully dressed

To give and give and give 'til there’s nothing left

Take and take and take 'til you’ve all you need

Take me to a place where darkness swells

The pain to a point where it can’t be held

Burst and break it and let it all spill

Through the dark city night where angels will

In the guise of strangers

Lead me back

Let me heal

Until I feel you touch me I can’t dissolve

Make water of my heart, make powder of my bones

There’s more pain here than I can keep inside me

No place I know where it can’t find me

Take me to a place where darkness swells

The pain to a point where it can’t be held

Burst and break it and let it all spill

Through the dark city night where angels will

Take and take and take me 'til I start to bleed

Take me out of myself and set me free

Free from the hurt to be absolved

Until I feel you touch me I can’t let go

Take me to a place where darkness swells

The pain to a point where it can’t be held

Burst and break it and let it all spill

Through the dark city night where angels will

In the guise of strangers

Lead me back

Let me heal
