Lhasa de Sela - I'm Going In lyrics

When my lifetime had just ended And my d**h had just begun I told you I'd never leave you But I knew this day would come Give me blood for my blood wedding I am ready to be born I feel new As if this body were the first I'd ever worn I need straw for the straw fire I need hard earth for the plow Don't ask me to reconsider I am ready to go now I'm going in I'm going in This is how it starts I can see in so far But afterwards we always forget Who we are I'm going in I'm going in I can stand the pain And the blinding heat 'Cause I won't remember you The next time we meet You'll be making the arrangements You'll be trying to set me free Not a moment for the meeting I'll be busy as a bee You'll be talking to me But I just won't understand I'll be falling by the wayside You'll be holding out your hand Don't you tempt me with perfection I have other things to do I didn't burrow this far in Just to come right back to you I'm going in I'm going in I have never been so ugly I have never been so slow These prison walls get closer now The further in I go I'm going in I'm going in I like to see you from a distance And just barely believe And think that Even lost and blind I still invented love I'm going in I'm going in I'm going in
