Lyrics Ashes In Hand - Downset

Ashes In Hand

Sex kills!
We will look into the eyes of the other and lie and say that we love them
Then strip the innocence given and create destruction we will never truly
comprehend
The ultimate act of sharing is reduced to the ultimate act of taking
Seconds of trembling flesh is not worth years of inner suffering
Taken away!
Sex kills!
Do my eyes betray what I feel and see.
Exploitation leads to the abandoned seed
This is no sexual liberation we have accepted desecration
And when they’ve taken!
And taken!
Beyond hope and healing left alone with your feelings
Your mourning will have no mercy.
It will steal from so much more than your body
Taken away!
Sex kills!
I would rather seek the peace of self
Then play the games that force the scars of lifelong insecurity
Frightening desires for dominant position when all we should be doing is loving!
Taken away!
Sex kills!
Sex is a weapon!
