Sheltered in your quiet youth How much could you know? I will tell you what to say You'll listen now and you'll obey Wide awake at precocious hours Topple from atop your towers Are you feeling weak? I've given you no chance to speak I cannot touch you, it's not time To bask in your illusions My foundation is too weak For you to build your towers on me Breathe in deep, give me desire Loving is not in my nature Give me all your youth No fighting over what is true Calloused skin, hard as diamonds How much do you feel? Ivory fangs locked away Lock your heart to use one day All that we know is our skin We've not accomplished more We're all alone in the abyss Get on your knees and off the floor I cannot touch you, it's not time To bask in your illusions My foundation is too weak For you to build your towers on me Breathe in deep, give me desire Loving is not in my nature Give me all your youth No fighting over what is true Give me all your youth No fighting over what is true
