Emotional precision, it's our best behavior
Rattling the streetcars on forgotten streets
Making a connection with the bittersweet
Crawling into your mind for some radiant reunion
Tapping out the messages that signify communion
Pressed beneath your folded wings
The ground around receding
Feel love's stinging sword cut deep and catch
The joy that's bleeding out of
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds, gentle wounds
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds
Feel the pang of hunger, feel the new life awaken
Restoring everything that once was taken
Symbolizing agony that made the women weep
Feel love's stinging sword slice deep and catch
The joy that's bleeding out of
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds, gentle wounds
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds, gentle wounds
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds
Bruised and beaten torn apart
The price that's paid for love divine
Can't spare your life don't spare your heart
Just feel the joy that's bleeding out of
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds, gentle wounds
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds
Gentle wounds, gentle
Gentle wounds
Entertaining visions of a lucid nature Emotional precision, it's our best behavior Rattling the streetcars on forgotten streets Making a connection with the bittersweet Crawling into your mind for some radiant reunion Tapping out the messages that signify communion Pressed beneath your folded wings The ground around receding Feel love's stinging sword cut deep and catch The joy that's bleeding out of Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds, gentle wounds Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds Feel the pang of hunger, feel the new life awaken Restoring everything that once was taken Symbolizing agony that made the women weep Feel love's stinging sword slice deep and catch The joy that's bleeding out of Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds, gentle wounds Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds, gentle wounds Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds Bruised and beaten torn apart The price that's paid for love divine Can't spare your life don't spare your heart Just feel the joy that's bleeding out of Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds, gentle wounds Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds Gentle wounds, gentle Gentle wounds Explain Request ×
