The Gate

'My healed chest wound
Transformed into a gate
Where I receive love from
Where I give love from

And I care for you...

Split into many parts
Splattered light beams into prisms
That will reunite

If you care for me...

Didn't used to be so needy
Just more broken than normal
Proud self-sufficiency
My silhouette is oval
It is a gate

I can care for you'

- The Gate, Björk
