There's a machine in my head.
|
There's a grinding in my brain.
|
The best part is that it turns you on.
|
The grinding penetrates
|
under the sheets, my dear.
|
We lie in love, but with fool's gold.
|
I want to give you the plans
|
just to make you stop.
|
I want you to get out of here for good.
|
It's in my bed, but my bed is a plot.
|
And the shovel is anchored down to the floor.
|
|
And I won't need to see you pushing up dirt again.
|
And I won't need to see you gagging on sincerity.
|
Daylight kills us.
|
KO'd by it and counting to ten.
|
Faced with choices
|
to pack it in or stand up and fight again.
|
|
There's something in my hand
|
pushing into my veins.
|
The tablature is for a death march.
|
I can't miss you
|
because you're already gone.
|
This is the climax to our love song.
|
You're in my head, but gone for good.
|
Your sonnet's melody plays on.
|
|
And I won't need to see you pushing up dirt again.
|
And I won't need to see you gagging on sincerity.
|
Daylight kills us.
|
KO'd by it and counting to ten.
|
Faced with choices
|
to pack it in or stand up and fight again.
|
|
We lie in love but with fool's gold.
