Wound
The Smashing Pumpkins爀 Lyrics

There you are as you always were
You are a constant presence in my life, never changing.

In bathing light and naked blue
You are illuminated as if in pure light and completely vulnerable.

You're a part of me eternal one
You and I are inseparable, connected forever.

By grand design and setting sun
Our connection was planned from the very beginning, just like the setting sun.

If you wait I will wait
I will always be here for you, no matter how long it takes for you to be ready.

Taste I will taste
I am willing to experience what you experience, even if it's painful or unpleasant.

If you love I will love
Our love is unconditional and mutual.

Run I will run
I will travel any distance or overcome any obstacle for you.

To my last breath
I will continue to love and care for you until the very end of my life.

Last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning
I had a haunting experience where I felt my identity was slipping away.

Inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning
I had a nightmare about a world where love was absent and cities were destroyed by fire.

Awake in my arms you cry unshamed
You feel safe and comfortable enough to show your vulnerability and cry in my embrace.

Our age of the hours while they still devour all
Time is constantly moving forward and taking away everything in its path.

So take it all, I doubt if we will know it's gone
Let's enjoy everything we have while we still have it, before it slips away unnoticed.

'Cause we've been here since time began
Our connection has existed since the beginning of time itself.

Begged God awake and make these plans
I prayed to God to help guide our path and give us purpose.

Wound opens, reveal this broken man
My inner pain is exposed and I am vulnerable in my humanity.

And soon there's notions of blood on his hands
I feel culpable and responsible for the chaos and harm that surrounds me.

Last night I turned around and thought I watched the world ending
I had a feeling of impending doom and that the world might be coming to an end.

Inside the crushing down I felt a pang, the tide was turning
Amidst the overwhelming pressure and stress, I experienced a sudden shift or change.

Destroyed in the wake
The aftermath of destruction is all that remains.

The jealous ingrates
Those who are hateful and envious towards us.

Who'll tear this world down
They are willing to destroy everything, even the entire world, out of their hatred.

To spite God above
Their motivation comes from a desire to show defiance towards a higher power or morality.

With his own love
They will use the very thing that God created to show love, against Him and everything good in the world.

If you wait, if you wait
If you are patient and wait for me,

If you wait, I will wait
I will reciprocate and also wait for you.
