i met my peace in your bottle of dreams
on a high from the song you sing
your lips taste like cherry wine
and your eyes read my mind
but how can you read a dead language
and how can you
still love me babytake me till my lungs give out
from the edge of the eclipse
like the sun your eyes are piercing
and your heart is my desire
your love is like a comet
just a wish until i want it
your love is like a comet
oh cause i want itbreak your wings
on this porcelain ground
sweat on the pavement
we won't swim we'll drown
sleep until the sky
opens up again
I'll never get that high
I'll never get that righttreat for the damascene
like babes on the moon
we're killing it over
just a bit too soon
twinkle the keys of my heartbeat
till your knuckles go white
take me so far away
it'll be dawn before we meet the nightbreak your jaw on solid air
your teeth cut through
a peach till it turn to bleed
call me a bitch and leave
wax wings in the scene
i'll never know you that well
I'll never get that high
get that rightgod in a trembling hand
prayers in barred teeth
love in the fire
sweet rum from god child's blood
like a fire of Alexandria
knowledge will die by hand of man
until god protects us once more
his love like trembling headsbleed upon me
scarlet flags wrapped round your throat
washed out in the sweat
your heart could be only mine
meet me on a landslide
and wrap your arms around
what's left of me
what's left of love this time aroundi met peace at the end of you
the ripped tears of you
into the palm of god
i met the end of it all
