lyrics

If fickle, still you only stray a little;
keep me snapping at your heels
for fear you'll suddenly start to heal,
and have no use for me.

I can't be bothered to tell you so.
“Love must be shown to be valid,
for words so belittle what should be known,”
I ad-lib as convincingly as I can without seeming desperate.

Oh lord, this urge to cuss you out.
Can I afford to let you know that I have doubts?

Can you be trusted not to pounce when I am weak?
I surrender my throat to your teeth:
rip it out if you wish, or just leave it, pale and panting,
but I refuse to keep dwelling on this.

I swim through skystars;
the breaths of a thousand suns swell in my lungs.
This longing for a compelling explanation keeps me sleeping in the lion's den.
Vow that I'll never fall in love again.
No. Never fall in love again.

Oh subtlety, I fall on my knees before thee.
Like every word he speak be prophecy.
“Believe in me,” I will him to understand-
that the heart is a weapon to a dangerous man.

Try to damage you just a little bit,
so I can try and make you regret everything and anything.
Hold my breath through all this posturing;
vow that I'll never fall in love again.
No, never fall in love again.
