Vices

So many vices for me to crush
before I introduced myself to you.
I know you knew be but I thought I
crushed them
before you saw me hiding in the shadows.

But you caught me hiding there.
You caught me hiding there. You caught me.

I couldn't blink until I felt the earth
solid and warm within my claws,

I let it go now and I feel it sifting
through my fingers, no more than sand.

But you caught me in your hands.
You caught me in your hands. You caught me.

I see this was fated from the start
the hour has come,
I see you knew before I woke
from my slumber,
I feel your safety carry me on
by still waters,
I see my body sift away
I fear no evil.

You caught me so off guard,
and you caught me in my act,
and you caught me by surprise,
when you caught me.
