Catalyst words slip from her mouth.
Ideas battle concepts spitting up doubt.
Casual shrugs shot to the side,

She said yes,
as her knees point to go.
Oh, veiled in cement,

What I got was not satisfactory,
now I'm steeping in denial.
Give me a word that's perfectly clear.
Slice through my sinews and bones,
embed it for me to hear.
Oh, oh.
She said yes,
as her knees point to go.
Oh, veiled in cement,
intentions don't show.
Intentions don't show. x 4
She said yes,
as her knees point to go.
Oh, veiled in cement,
intentions don't show.
