The Convent Lyrics by Longfellow

Prelude

2014

The convent's where I'll cleanse my soul
Body wearing sometimes clothes get torn
Sometimes in paradise
Now if there's one thing I won't regret
I'm fairly sure it hasn't happened yet
Though I'm repentting it

And I don't want to be your harpy
I tell you all the time
Maybe I'll sleep tonight
And I don't want to feel your breathing
The changing of your life
And maybe I'll sleep tonight
And don't you speak your mind to me
I can't pretend
To cease, to cease to be
Though that's much easier
And I can't trust my mind
To choose who I touch, or who I should refuse
Nothing comes easier

And I don't want to be your harpy
I tell you all the time
Maybe I'll sleep tonight
And I don't want to feel your breathing
The changing of your life
Or maybe I'll seeping tonight
This is our decision that I'm calling you
Run from all the answers and you'll find the truth
Rib cage torn and open you can take my heart
I am waiting for the fall to stop

This is our decision, that I'm calling you
Run from all the answers and you'll find the truth
Rib cage torn and open you can take my heart
I am waiting for the fall to stop
I am waiting for the fall
