scary love

what is love my love

tell me do you know

to me its dirt and blood and seed

that's how my garden grows

what is this pain inside

my veins they turn to frost

is there an operation

please

and how much does it cost

this love is a scary love

if i had one day left to live

i'd lock the doors and windows

but keep you in

if i had one day left to live

i'd wrap myself around you

and breathe you in

scary love

it's scary love

what is love my love

tell me why it burns

like rage and fire inside of me

yet causes no concern

i'm quite used to it

the ashes on my hands

at least i've felt the pain of love

but no one understands

this love is a scary love

if i had one day left to live

i'd lock the doors and windows

but keep you in

if i had one day left to live

i'd wrap myself around you

and breathe you in

this love is a scary love

blackbirds in the place of doves

clenched fist in a velvet glove

like a train running over us

like being nailed to a cross

if i had one day left to live

i'd keep you in

i'd keep you in

if i had one more day left to live

i'd wrap myself around you

and breathe you in
