lyrics

So close
Pressed up to your womb
Oh Im enthralled by a thought of you
Still in love
Oh Im still in love
But its hard being apart knowing that we’ll end soon
Sooner than later

A trip to hell
Where I’ll save you myself
All other lives I couldve tried
But why when I know the truth
Still in love
And so I’m finishing up
I sharpen thy blade
Soon I will
I feel your touch

When you took your life that clear June day
Did you think of what you would’ve said
Had I burst in on you
Taking the knife
Opened your throat in a single slice
I’d drink you up
If only I had the time

Romantic suicide
My sweetest thrill
Couldn’t tell you half the time
If I’d commit
But now you know
That if its love I’m doing it for
Then thats enough
I’d burn and rot just to taste your lips again
