I don’t just want your love I want to feel the beat of your heart Echo between my lungs I want to lick each of my fingers clean Savor each drop of blood Just to stop and ask myself Why stop at just one? The dark side This twisted mind The shadow swallows all Each second Digression Purity stains each thought Feels like forever, occupying this bed Close your eyes, lay your heavy head I won’t let you leave again I don’t just want your love Blood runs dry This heart of mine Its beat, inaudible Come over Then crawl closer Nothing is impossible Feels like forever since this hunger was fed Malnourished and desperate My table remains set Have you come alive? For this love to last forever First you must die I want to feel the beat of your heart Echo between my lungs I want to lick each of my fingers clean Savor each drop of blood Just to stop and ask myself Why?
