To Pluck the Night Up By Its Skin Lyrics

I'd give everything I have
To pluck the night up by its skin
That I might look inside
And may not find all ending

I wish I could share in your perception of my body
That we may not find it rotting
As skin blossoms blood
Waiting for the last knell of day
So that we may go as one
Feet to feet
Nail to nail
Tooth to tooth
'til suns burn out

I'd give everything I have
To pluck the night up by its skin
That I might look inside
And may not find all ending
