Wound

Smashing Pumpkins · MACHINA/The Machines of God [2000]

There you are as you always were

In bathing light and naked blur

You're a part of me, eternal one

By grand design and setting sun



If you wait, I will wait

Taste, I will taste

If you love, I will love

Run, I will run to my last breath



Last night I turned around

And thought I saw myself turning

Inside the strangest dream

Of life unloved and cities burning



Awake in my arms

You cry unharmed

Our age of the hours

While they still devour all



So take it all, I doubt if we

Will know it's gone 'cause we've been here

Since time began, begged God awake

And make these plans



Wound opens

Reveal this broken man

And soon there's notions

Of blood on his hands



If you wait, I will wait

Taste, I will taste

If you love, I will love

Run, I will run to my last breath



Last night I turned around

I thought I saw myself turning

Last night I turned around

I thought I watched the world ending

Inside the crushing down

I felt a pang the tide was turning



Destroyed in the wake

The jealous ingrates

Who'll tear this world down

To spite God above

With his own love

With his own love



If you wait, if you wait

If you wait, I will wait

Taste, I will taste

If you love, I will Love

Run, I will run to my last breathe
