How did I learn how to love?
It wasn't through life
It wasn't blind eyes and manic fingers
Selfish wants and angry desire
It wasn't through life
Life that teaches that nothing is known
And all you should feel
Is all that is cold
How did I open my heart?
It wasn't through trust
When ten thousand raging madmen
Were aiming at closed doors
With sharpened knives in hand
Ready to eviscerate
With smiling faces
How did I give you my grace?
It wasn't through need
I was always going to dance
Unseen my form and feet
While darkness in strangers eyes
Impart their hatred onto me
Ready for the throat
And hungry for blood
How did I learn to love?
Only because I was born a fool
And I learned the truth
Deep inside myself
How did I learn to love?
I learned to love because I must

Rip me now to shreds
If that's what you really want
I was always waiting for it anyways

How did I learn to love?
The answer was always known
