La Petite Mort

I really know how to make a night to remember How to make these fragrant roses smell like shit Spent all this time getting ready Making yourself beautiful All for me All for tonight All for yourself All for this demanding moment that I've brought to tears Oh, my Little Death I'm such a hero My armor must blind you The rags I wear underneath it all They polish it so very fucking well It's a guy like me who you'll remember When the instinct to achieve Pushes you so ever forward And it's a guy like me who you'll remember When you get angry at scaring yourself over nothing Over thunder and lightning Yours is the face I'll see When I've corroded all the mirrors with so much hate That all I'll see is you All that will be left is you Anything but what is mine When I've hated away everything else Yours is the face I'll see when I learn in heart The meaning of letting go After years of holding on Has directed my life against itself so many fucking times That I'm no longer sure of who I am or who you were I'll feed you every nightmare I'll show you every scar Scabs hang from me like wasted years And somehow you should like this? What is it about love that blinds and fills the void? Makes a beaten body beautiful to behold? Every word I've ever spoken has been sired with a knife They fall from a sour source The stabbing follows married to my past I've consummated every flaw My skin has seen so much blood I've labeled every problem for you Help me to stay this way Help me stay automatic Help me I don't know why That's just what you're supposed to do When you're in love Or so I hear So why don't you come over here And sharpen all your claws on what I fear? Well ok Fuck it "Shut up, let's dance" I've got so much to show you I'll pick you up tomorrow Well ok Fuck it "Shut up, let's dance" I've got so much to show you I'll pick you up tomorrow Tomorrow (So I can bring you down) Tomorrow (So I can bring you down) Tomorrow (So I can bring you down) Tomorrow (So I can bring you down) So down La Petite Mort La Petite Mort La Petite Mort La Petite Mort
