I feel like death tonight
But flow like water
I fall away where you drift in
Lord knows I’m lost

What have I done?
Ostracized my love
Paying in blood, tears
Transgressions of affections

Oh, for the love of another
Tearing me limb from limb
She’s in my veins
Like the alcohol I drink (to forget)

Should I have to barter
For a fraction of her love
I am no auctioneer
(and I’m so damn tired)
