In the Bedroom [Lyrics]

These are the lyrics to "In the Bedroom", the eighth song on my album The Work.

Listen on Spotify here.

In the bedroom
l’ll take care of you
‘Cause I can’t admit
I might be worthy of this

So I lie back
Under your gentle attack
Replaced are the words
That gave voice to my hurt
With ones that subvert
The blunt force of my worth

But there once was a bed
Where I felt myself yield
So I can’t take your wounds
I’m already healed

Transcendence I felt
Like a cry from the earth
Two bodies unburdened
A deathless rebirth

We slip into our roles
The covert war unfolds
Who once was your friend
Becomes means to an end

But maybe this time
Words and acts will align
The real man will come back
And we'll face up to facts
We both want to be real
But we’re scared what the light will reveal

But there once was a bed
Where I felt myself yield
So I can’t take your wounds
I’m already healed

Transcendence I felt
Like a cry from the earth
Two bodies unburdened
A deathless rebirth

I’m not asking for polite
Just please no more bullshit so trite
What I need is a man
Who can handle it and
Who can look in my eyes
As we fall and we rise

Rise!

But there once was a bed
Where I felt myself yield
So I can’t take your wounds
I'm already healed

Transcendence I felt
Like a cry from the earth
Two bodies unburdened
A deathless rebirth
​
In the bedroom
I’ll take care of you
