lyrics

I never wanted to break your heart
I only wanted to break your neck
and collect all the pieces of you
that belonged to me

and I won't say that I didn't love
the sound of snapping cords
in your throat
there's something beautiful
about the choking face
of your one true love

and i can be happy now i think
to know that

i was your power
i was the rule
i was your god
you were my fool
and my reign was written
in the creases of your brow

you see
I'm not so good with
fellow feelings
the way any stable
person should be
and you might think it a fault
but I just call it loyalty

so where to has all this honesty gotten me
a mask and an old body wrapped around
lonely bones that ache and creak
when it rains
and the sky bleeds a little more each day
I exist without you

the streets flow with red
when my feet
touch the ground
the bed has become my home
away from home

but some days i feel like stepping out
for a swim
let the sea of blood fill my lungs to the brim

I laid golden eggs for you
broke skin and
ate my yolk for you
one thing I said I'd never do
was crawl for you
was crawl to you

so where to has all this honesty gotten me
a mask and an old body wrapped around
lonely bones that ache and creak
when it rains
and the sky bleeds a little more each day
I exist without you

You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs ... more
