lyrics

Dark as the night time
Close as you can
Fierce as an animal with the hunger for expanse
You gotta love me like only a woman can
Sewn like seduction
Stitched in by hand
Born with veracity, a seditionary trance
You've gotta love me as only a woman can
You've gotta love me all that I can stand

Love me like a river runs through your hands
Hold me like the only thing you'll ever understand
Speak to me in shadows revealing light
Be the fire that burns away the layers of my mind
Love me like a river

Burns like a wildfire
Ravaging the land
Hot like destruction raving from the devils hand
You've gotta love me, oh you've gotta love me like a man
You've gotta love me all that I can stand

Love me like a river runs through your hands
Hold me like the only thing you'll ever understand
Speak to me in shadows revealing light
Be the fire that burns away the layers of my mind
(x2)

Backing vocals:
Oh hold me down
Wash over me
Strike the shore
Then recede

Color you sideways, you color me black and blue
I'll shake your ground and you won't know what hit you
I'll be a circle, you be whatever you choose
You let me shapeshift you can taste this voodoo
Dark as the nighttime, close as you can
Fierce as an animal with a hunger for expanse
