"Venus And Bacchus" lyrics

Close my eyes, pull my heart strings
Pour my tears from your hands
Connections are never easy, you said
Empty words, empty soul
I believe that we are afraid of one another
And I believe that you have died within me

I fade from myself, I miss you again
I fade from myself, I miss you again, again
What have we got?
What have we got?
Bloody, broken, and
And hidden away
I seek the rope from which we will hang
Or so it seems
Or so it seems

The dance of flesh on flesh has rendered us blind
I look into your eyes, I look into stone

It's better to be stepped on than left all alone
It's better to be stepped on than left all alone
Alone

Now I choke on yesterday
When I was someone and I wonder where forever went
And how our everything came undone
I opened my eyes
And the heavens beneath us died
