I fell in love in the wrong state of mind
I stared without looking
I fell without feeling
I dreamt without sleeping
Maybe it was the heartache
Maybe it was the alcohol
Maybe it was the grey smell of loneliness
Maybe it was the careless combination of all three
I don't remember now and I didn't care at the time
You looked at me the same way I looked at you
In that way that said nothing really mattered, none of
  it, and hell couldn't get any worse than this
So you took my hand and we left
And we went to places, ugly places
Areas not fit for the living or dead
And we danced without heartbeats
And we ****** without flesh, bones grinding
  in an empty abyss
And we got trapped in the lie of it all
And we did horrible things, horrible beautiful things
And we fell in love, with all the madness and the insanity
  and cruelty of it all
And it was the kind of love that lasts forever
That is until we both remembered that nothing really mattered
