Open the door and slam it in my face
All this pain for a brief embrace
Burn me with your cigarettes
In the passion of love, there are no regrets
Wrapped around a string of hate
A fire in the metal grate
Favorites chosen without intention
Lies that you forgot to mention
Dark eyes draw you in
What we're doing is not a sin
The chin-length hair that slides down your cheek
Climbing the mountain and reaching the peak
Behind a fallen angel, I soldier on
Till everyone else is dead and gone
Chains wrap themselves around my neck
Forged from the words you painted on our deck
In an empty apartment, I sit around
Waiting for the new excuse that you've found
Trucks that crash on a lover's highway
Scorched suns that only produce the color grey
School buses painted blue
All the blood that you drew
I love you and hate you at the same time
There is no reason and there is no rhyme
I want you to kiss me before you die
Wipe away my tears, and tell me not to cry
The suits of silver that are worn every night
They're splattered with red from the notorious fight
All weapons are allowed
Go forth and make us proud
The war called love will never be done
It's a legendary fight that cannot be won
The narcotics that we use to block it out
Drain my body of this emotional drought
We forget how helpless we all are
Our feelings take flight in a runaway car
Arrows point down our paths of doom
The demon produced from an untainted womb
I'd put the bullet in my own head
If I could save you from being dead
