Lyrics

[01:59.01] A Gothic Love Song
[02:18.69] I'm clicking your fingers
[02:21.38] for a gothic twilight
[02:25.11] that actually existed
[02:28.13] just in your head
[02:31.00] your fingernails painted black or bloodred I forget
[02:42.35] and your fake-leather volumes jabbering on hell
[02:49.11] manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhale
[02:55.29] your eyes tried so hard to glitter
[03:00.66] a star-snuffing black so you opened your books
[03:06.72] and you opened your legs and so opened your heart
[03:14.45] and let in the badness you claimed as your friend
[03:26.02] with un-angels hovering like flies around the orchard
[03:32.15] that had covered your soul their empire increasing
[03:39.86] and your country deserted by your self
[03:49.23] the bells of st. mary call us to remember
[03:56.97] that life is with end
[03:58.82] and the gestures can kill us moreover destroy
[04:07.71] and there is one judgment only
[04:13.38] your letters came daily in french or in german
[04:19.39] but they meant to me nothing i caught the slow chords
[04:26.23] and dry ice fogging your mind
[04:35.27] i see all too clearly now why you could be discarded
[04:47.71] and though i could pray for you i probably shan't
[04:53.62] having had my cup filled up with your lies and your make-up
[05:05.00] you were nothing thinking you're something
[05:17.20] and nonetheless i still write this gothic love song
[05:22.45] a sign to myself and the memory of my past
[05:30.15] i still write this gothic love song
[05:34.75] a sign to myself and the memory of my past
[05:42.55] and a way to shut out your face
[05:48.96]
[05:50.84]
[05:54.14]
