Tugging:
Come, little darling Come, precious child,
come precious child. come my weary daugther.
see the water? see the sky?
it is quiet here I exist up here;
it is calm and deep and it is bright and good and
reflective, like you. sunny, like you.
can't you see you can't you see you
belong here? belong here?
yes, that's it no, please don't
come, you weary child give in, child;
come to the water be strong.
see the pale grey sky, see the darkness,
the shades of blue. the sin in their ways.
can't you see can't you see
you don't belong up there, you belong up here,
with them on the shore? holding my hand?
they laugh too loudly, I'll soothe you,
they hurt your eyes. heal you of pain.
give me your hands, come to me,
your arms, your my beautiful creation,
pale and skinny body. weary daughter.
let me hug you, let me love you,
if they won't. for they can't.
yes, come to me come to me,
and be calm and be still.
relax, and just breathe. let go of sin.
just think, oh just think, oh
fragile outcast; this is where you belong,
you are here at last, here with me, for
deep under with me now. I made you.
You are mine now. I love you.
