Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lady, all the troubles are my fight, I disgust you

I feel the power you cut the truth into

Why do you think I did not, on this, rely?

I could kiss you, lines of escape in my mouth

[Verse 2]

Please, let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman

The stars shined on my back as I slept and knew

You didn't leave it all, you made an even call

My belly released the stars and tears between the scars

[Verse 3]

And below this, we'll end here until the end of time

Beyond the moment that ends our bondage

I am your failed husband contender

I'm your loan shark of bliss

[Verse 4]

This dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions

I need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone

Now smell the rain of London, it still insists

That we beg for our, our purity

As if we are pure in the reign of our contentment

As if I can think of this no more
