lyrics

I never could accept love
The way the vultures arrange the bones.
Prince Charming and white horses,
My Medusa turned them all to stone.

So I roll on,
Leave the relics in Rome.
Settle the desert in a fugue state
And burn down like my childhood home.

I am the flowers dying in the glass vase.
I am the eyes in moonlight unfazed.
Nothing can touch me if I am empty.
No one can hurt me because I can’t feel.

Boy in a harness, I watched you heart break,
All dressed in leather, it was severe.
The moment of sadness, the death in your sex tapes,
You got the leverage baby, sweeten the deal.

Never could, never could, never ever could accept love.
Never could, do any good, do any good except love.

And you learned in the moonlight,
I am just what you like,
And you still fantasize about that night,
Dying in your bed all alone.

Your eyes were glowing violet,
Said you’d like to try it,
And you were hooked
from that moment forward.

I am the flower dying in the glass bowl.
I am the eyes without any soul.
Nothing can touch me because I’m not friendly.
No one can hurt me the harder skin heals.

Boy in a harness, girl with the most cake,
my little Judas, my little earthquake.
The moment of silence for my latest mistake.
Cross out his name and move onto the next take.

Never could, never could, never ever could accept love.
(and I will harness, and I will harness, and I will harness my heartbreak)
Never could, do any good, do any good except love.
(and I will harness, and I will harness, and I will harness an infinite strength)

Never could, never could, never ever could accept love.
(and I will harness, and I will harness, and I will harness my heartbreak)
Never could, do any good, do any good except love.
(and I will harness, and I will harness, and I will harness an infinite strength)
