    This is some of the most inventive, groovy, touching music I've ever heard and it's only got a measly few thousand views. What a crime

    Lyrics:
    She was and pure and untouchable
    A tear drop from God's eye
    She was something unusual
    An answer, a way out
    Warmth that trembles
    Like an embryo
    Flashing light in the corner of my eye
    Dancing curls that twist and strangle twist and strangle
    Flashing light in the corner of my eye
    She will never be mine x 2
    Once my secret, my hideaway
    Now exposed and filthy
    I'd still die for her, secretly
    No vaccine, it's too late.
    Warmth that trembles
    Like an embryo
    Use my body as wind for your fire place
    Use my ashes as sand in your hourglass
    Use my conscious to amuse your filthy mind
    Take what you can and leave all the rest behind
    Just let me in to your life
    Breathe, breathe it's alright
    Remember, just a dream
    Something inside me is aching to get out of here
    Breathe, breathe, it's alright
    Remember why we're here
    Victim has twisted the line drawn between beast and man
    Tangled wires calculate
    What we experience does not equate
    Did the victim, live this way?
    She was and pure and untouchable
    A tear drop from God's eye
    strange, unusual
    An answer, a way out
    She was and pure and untouchable
    A tear drop from God's eye
    strange, unusual
    An answer, a way out
    Now she's used and despicable
    and none can save me
    Now she's used and despicable
    (Flashing light in the corner of my eye, she will never be mine)
    and none can save me
    (Flashing light in the corner of my eye, she will never be mine)

    A radiating warmth from Ben Levin's writing and a chill shimmer from the katana that is Courtney Swain's voice.
