This love is lying on the banquet table Overripe and bruised Love, the meaning of fear and of life Censoring my dreams My greatest joy and deepest abyss Treacherous love, chaos and despair Addiction of bliss and departures Swirling in my veins, storming my cellular barriers Plucking the threads of my well-designed tapestry So prudent in all its decorous imagery Love running through the threads Severing heartstrings Scissors sharp and twice as cruel Only this is Colder than love Love is hands pulling at laces Teeth biting necks, grazing skin Deeper than thorns, deeper than midnight Tearing never fulfilling Empty words written only in water, crying Love, is somehow not meant for me Yesterdays loom stark and white Empty bathtubs I never filled with memories And the pull of you brings me only pain, only pain But love is demon bitterness Singing your name in my ear Your eyes, distant, turn to me for a second Love kicks me back into illusion Maybe He loves me Hanging on the warped wire of crazy Bruises down my throat Wanting to believe This thing that rips me up and cares not Somehow needs me too Killer elite Naked crying always leaving This love

This Love
This love is lying on the banquet table Overripe and bruised Love, the meaning of fear and of life Censoring my dreams My greatest joy and deepest abyss Treacherous love, chaos and despair Addiction of bliss and departures Swirling in my veins, storming my cellular barriers Plucking the threads of my well-designed tapestry So prudent in all its decorous imagery Love running through the threads Severing heartstrings Scissors sharp and twice as cruel Only this is Colder than love Love is hands pulling at laces Teeth biting necks, grazing skin Deeper than thorns, deeper than midnight Tearing never fulfilling Empty words written only in water, crying Love, is somehow not meant for me Yesterdays loom stark and white Empty bathtubs I never filled with memories And the pull of you brings me only pain, only pain But love is demon bitterness Singing your name in my ear Your eyes, distant, turn to me for a second Love kicks me back into illusion Maybe He loves me Hanging on the warped wire of crazy Bruises down my throat Wanting to believe This thing that rips me up and cares not Somehow needs me too Killer elite Naked crying always leaving This love
