i'm a killer, cold and wrathful • silent sleeper, i've been inside your bedroom • i've murdered half the town • left you love notes on their headstones • i'll fill the graveyards until i have you • moonlight walking • i smell your softness • carnivorous and lusting to track you down among the pines • i want you stuffed into my mouth • hold you down and tear you open • live inside you • but love, i'd never hurt you • oh, the horror of our love • never so much blood pulled through my veins • oh, the horror of our love • never so much blood • i wake in terror • blackbirds screaming • dark cathedrals spilling midnight on their alters • i'm your servant, my immortal • pale and perfect • such unholy heaving • the statues close their eyes • the room is changing • break my skin and drain me • ancient language, speak through fingers • the awful edges where you end and i begin • inside your mouth i cannot see • there's catastrophe in everything i'm touching • as i sweat and crush you • and i hold your beating chambers until they beat no more • you die like angels sing • oh, the horror of our love • never so much blood pulled through my veins • oh, the horror of our love • never so much blood • you're a ghost, love • nightgown flowing • your body blue and walking along the continental shelf • you are a dream among the sharks • beautiful and terrifying • lit and restless • we dance in dark suspension • and you bury me in the ocean floor beneath you • where they'll never hear us scream • oh, the horror of our love • never so much blood pulled through my veins • oh, the horror of our love • never so much blood
my body is a cage • that keeps me from dancing with the one i love • but my mind holds the key • my body is a cage • that keeps me from dancing with the one i love • but my mind holds the key • i'm standing on a stage • of fear and self-doubt • it's a hollow play • but they'll clap anyway • my body is a cage • that keeps me from dancing with the one i love • but my mind holds the key • you're standing next to me • my mind holds the key • i'm living in an age • that calls darkness light • though my language is dead • still the shapes fill my head • i'm living in an age • whose name i don't know • though the fear keeps me moving • still my heart beats so slow • my body is a cage • that keeps me from dancing with the one i love • but my mind holds the key • you're standing next to me • my mind holds the key • my body is a cage • just because you've forgotten • that don't mean you're forgiven • i'm living in an age • that screams my name at night • but when i get to the doorway • there's no one in sight • i'm living in an age • that laughs when i'm dancing with the one i love • but my mind holds the key • you're standing next to me • my mind holds the key • set my spirit free
some nights i thirst for real blood • for real knives • for real cries • and the flash of steel from real guns • in real life really fills my mind • and i really miss what really did exist • when i held your throat so tight • and i miss the bus as it swerved from us • and came crashing to its side • some nights the blood from real cuts • feels real nice when it's really mine • and if you want it to be real • come over for one night • and we can really, really climb • 'cause blue bridge lights • might really burn most bright • while we watch that dark lake rise • and if you really want to see • what really matters most to me • just take a real short drive • it's just a drive into the dark stretch • long stretch of night • really stretch this shaking mind • and this room, unlit, unheated • and the ceiling striped • and the dark black blinds • i want to know this time • if you're really finally mine • i need to know that you're not lying • and so i want to see you tried • and i don't want to hear you say • it shouldn't really be this way • because i like this way just fine • 'cause there's nothing quite like the blinding light • that curtains cast aside • and no attempt is made to explain away • things that really, really, really, really, really are behind • you can't hide
sometimes i feel i've got to run away • i've got to get away • from the pain you drive into the heart of me • the love we share seems to go nowhere • and i've lost my light • for i toss and turn • i can't sleep at night • once i ran to you • now i run from you • this tainted love you've given • i gave you all a boy could give you • take my tears and that's not nearly all • oh, tainted love • tainted love • now i know i've got to run away • i've got to get away • you don't really want anymore from me • to make things right • you need someone to hold you tight • and you think love is to pray • but i'm sorry i don't pray that way • once i ran to you • now i run from you • this tainted love you've given • i gave you all a boy could give you • take my tears and that's not nearly all • oh, tainted love • tainted love • don't touch me, please • i cannot stand the way you tease • i love you, though you hurt me so • now i'm going to pack my things and go • tainted love • tainted love • touch me, baby, tainted love • tainted love
my wingtips waltz across naive • wood floors they creak • innocently down the stairs • drag melody • my percussive feet serve cobweb headaches • as the matching set of marching clocks • the slobbering apparitions • that they've come to wake up • here i am, composing a burlesque • out of where they rest their necks • sunken in their splintered cradles • and ramshackle heads • they asked for it • that's a girl • you have set your heart on haunting me forever from the start • it's never silent • ever since we met • i only shoot up with your perfume • it's the only thing • that makes me feel as good as you do • ever since we met • i've got just one regret to live through • and that one regret is you • how does a heart love • if no one has noticed its presence • and where does it go? • trembling hands play my heart like a drum • but the beat's gotten lost in the show • you have set your heart on haunting me forever from the start • it's never silent • ever since we met • i only shoot up with your perfume • it's the only thing • that makes me feel as good as you do • ever since we met • i've got just one regret to live through • and that one regret is you
