Songtext Universal emptiness Jarboe

Universal emptiness

And she sits there by the wall
Making holes where I just stood
And her hands, they touch our face
Like our faces made of wood
And she holds on to a memory
Something I never said
But she still can't quite remember
If my eyes are blue or dead

She's the mother of us all
She's a victim of our sadness
And the more she tries to know it
The more she'll never feel it
She's the universal emptiness
The universal emptiness
She's the universal emptiness
And a total lack of faith

And I saw her once before
Down on her bended knees
Through a window of a church at night
Confessing to a rogued priest
She is holy as all women are
And she suffers like a saint
Yea she touched my hand with cruelty
But was punished far too late

She's the mother of us all
She's the guardian of our needs
And the more she tries to save us
The more she pulls us in

She's the universal emptiness
The universal emptiness
She's the universal emptiness
The universal emptiness
She's the universal emptiness
The universal emptiness
She's the universal emptiness
The universal emptiness
She's the universal emptiness

(She's the last mistake we'll make)
(She's the last mistake we'll make)
(She's the last mistake we'll make)
(She's the last mistake we'll make)
(She's the last mistake we'll make)
(She's the last mistake?)
(She's the last mistake?)
(She's the last mistake?)
(She's the last mistake?)
