the shape of love to come

they say it takes some time to find the one you're meant for

i spent that time in stranger's beds

had my mom pick me up at 5:30 in the morning

from a downtown loft where the cthulhu inside me was fed

but now he's dead

and as these writers age

they run out of conflict to chronicle

become flabby and mundane

but what we built in hell is anything but boring

it's the kind of love-lust that could drive a madman insane

and the truth is i can't be aroused unless i'm in love

so thank god i found you

thank god i found you

and i want you

and i need you

now and forever

and i want you

and i need you

now and forever

with no irony

i'll exclaim

you are my shelter"
