Love and Detriment

Are you really dead I can't feel your pulse But you've still got life left in you I'm crying Over a pale corpse That twitched and convulsed, like spiders watching from their webs as rain falls Over and over again, I'm so confused When did this whole damn thing fall through If love is not enough for you Then leave me out of it for good I'm done too Love and detriment Two things can't go hand in hand if just one gets ahead I'm trying to make things fair, but I can't think straight if my head's not there Love and detriment Two things can't go hand in hand if the other one just ends up dead Save your nails for my coffin instead Contempt in every other face I see Torturing myself with regret Why couldn't it have been me How am I supposed to live like this It hurts Torturing myself with questions Making everything so much worse I am not man Nor machine Just something left broken in between Over and under again I stitch these seams You say it's hopeless so easily If love was never enough Tell me What made you try in the first place Love and detriment Two things can't go hand in hand if just one gets ahead I'm trying to make things fair, but I can't think straight if my head's not there Love and detriment Two things can't go hand in hand if the other one just ends up dead Save your nails for my coffin instead
