I Kiss The Hand Of My Destroyer

In her eyes

I'm drawn to the reflection of my demise

My grimace on a screen one mile high

My whole world on a plate for you to try

Relationships are compromise

I kiss the hand of my destroyer

With love I watch her watch me cry

How marvelous my house on fire

Come inside

And help yourself to anything that's mine

Kiss me 'til the tears fill up my eyes

Push me down the stairs and watch me climb

Just to see you smile

I kiss the hand of my destroyer

With love I watch her watch me cry

How marvelous my house on fire

I'll pretend I don't mind

I'll play the dying swan tonight

My feathers will fill up the sky

And fall down by your side

You are the sunshine of my life
