lyrics

Here I made myself a bedroom
For to play out love and lust
Dredged up from some burlesque bedlam
Scented with a rectal musk

Here I felt the earth split open
I’ve felt oceans fall and rise
At the ceaseless thrusting motion
At the flexing of those thighs

At the grinding of our groins
At the tearing of our teeth
Both our bodies grappled here
'Till mine was the one underneath

Here where we made our nest of skin
Here where we played out every part
Here where I let the knife dip in
Here where it haemorrhaged my heart

Something shook me from my sleep
My feeble form, shivering and wet
Grasps for the dreams I longed to keep
Seeped from my pores with cold night sweat

This night I grapple with disease
Locked in a dialogue with death
Searching my soul for calm and peace
Love for this fastly fading flesh

Here where we made our nest of skin
Here where we played out every part
Here where I let the knife dip in
Here where it haemorrhaged my heart

Give me one more chance to begin
Take back my bedroom to its start
Before I let the knife dip in
Before it hemorrhaged my
Heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
