[01:59.01]A Gothic Love Song
[02:18.69]I'm clicking your fingers
[02:21.38]for a gothic twilight
[02:25.11]that actually existed
[02:28.13]just in your head
[02:31.00]your fingernails painted black or bloodred I forget
[02:42.35]and your fake-leather volumes jabbering on hell
[02:49.11]manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhale
[02:55.29]your eyes tried so hard to glitter
[03:00.66]a star-snuffing black so you opened your books
[03:06.72]and you opened your legs and so opened your heart
[03:14.45]and let in the badness you claimed as your friend
[03:26.02]with un-angels hovering like flies around the orchard
[03:32.15]that had covered your soul their empire increasing
[03:39.86]and your country deserted by your self
[03:49.23]the bells of st. mary call us to remember
[03:56.97]that life is with end
[03:58.82]and the gestures can kill us moreover destroy
[04:07.71]and there is one judgment only
[04:13.38]your letters came daily in french or in german
[04:19.39]but they meant to me nothing i caught the slow chords
[04:26.23]and dry ice fogging your mind
[04:35.27]i see all too clearly now why you could be discarded
[04:47.71]and though i could pray for you i probably shan't
[04:53.62]having had my cup filled up with your lies and your make-up
[05:05.00]you were nothing thinking you're something
[05:17.20]and nonetheless i still write this gothic love song
[05:22.45]a sign to myself and the memory of my past
[05:30.15]i still write this gothic love song
[05:34.75]a sign to myself and the memory of my past
[05:42.55]and a way to shut out your face
[05:48.96]
[05:50.84]
