lyrics

I saw red and then I saw you
Braced for impact, clawing at mildew
Yearning, turning over tables in your mind
Stopped at treetops gaining consciousness
I thought despite everything, you still owed me this
I am not as kind as I might seem,

Hunting haunting melodies in your dreams
And lure them into nightmares

Rain drowned blood on a death star
Round out rhythms run down street cars
Bend over backwards darling, it suits you
Bend over backwards darkling, it’ll sooth you

The darkness so seductive, I forgot
That in your madness , that’s where I stopped
Rehearsing and cursing the tides
Swelling and curling inside

I proclaim you’re the only one who’s sane
Most will die before they find the pleasures in the pains of life
But you bound my days in agonies, and savored their decay
May love and curses come your way

Run run, rebel, if you still can
I like to taste the sweat before I eat a man
Your panic pairs so well with wine
Reek of rage in early stages
And get rattled by the saddled shame of
My lustful hedonist sublime

Then maybe you could be my valentine
And I could be your nightmare

Roses for your weary head
Laced with thorns and dried in dread
With your blood and ache I’ll adorn you
Babe, It’s the way I adore you
