Venus and Bacchus

"Close my eyes

Pull my heart strings

Pour my tears from your hands

'Connections are never easy,' you said

Empty words

Empty soul

I believe that we are afraid of one another"

"And I, I believe that you have died within me"

I fade from myself

I miss you again

I fade from myself

I miss you again...again

(What have we got?)

Bloody broken and hidden away

I seek the rope from which we will hang

Or so it seems

Or so it seems

The dance of flesh on flesh has rendered us blind

"I look into eyes, I look into stone

It's better to be stepped on than left all alone.

So now I choke on yesterday when I was someone

And I wonder where 'forever' went

And how our 'everything' came undone

I opened my eyes and the heaven beneath us died."
