lyrics

You are the pyre that burns.
You are the page that turns.
You are the common law.
You taste much better raw.

I am the hand that holds.
I am the slave you sold.
I am the teeth that bite.
I am the will to fight.

You can never tell
heaven from a hell.
Vintage water bed,
hold my bleeding head.
Condo carpet burn,
Businesses you learn.
He’s pushing too hard
inside of me. Oh...

I don’t want to die.
But you don’t want to live.
Let’s find something in between.
Honey, It’ll be a dream.
Dream...

You are the scent of fear.
You are the tyrant’s tears.
You are the man I willed.
You are the beast I killed.

I am the temple walls.
I am there when they fall.
I am the blood that fills your throat.
I am the human and the goat.

You can never free every part of me.
Antique bondage gear,
Playmate of the Year.
Kiss my bleeding skull,
Feed me till I’m full.
Garden full of weeds;
they’re strangling me. Oh...

I don’t want to die.
But you don’t want to live.
Let’s find something in between.
Honey, It’ll be a dream.
Dream...

You are the pyre that burns.
You are the page that turns.
You are the common law.
You taste much better raw.

Condo carpet burn,
Businesses you learn.
He’s pushing too hard
inside of me. Oh...

I don’t want to die.
But you don’t want to live.
Let’s find something
in between.
Honey, It’ll be a dream.
Dream...
