"Love Is Death" lyrics

"Love Is Death"

I lie awake at night, dreaming of a time where I could say the pain was worth it
That I didn't deserve to be treated so unkind
You saw me crying on the fire-escape, I locked your eyes looked like your face was frozen
Like you didn't even notice me dying

Oh, but even though you know I would stay
I'd risk my life for you
Twist that knife for you

Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
Yea I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yea I'm dying for you

Blood-sacrifices made it's everything it takes for me to keep from screaming
Like a rabbit out my sleeve it's a miracle I'm still breathing
But I have no choice it's like my voice is in a box that's buried leagues and leagues below me
With only fishes for company

Oh, but even though you know I would stay
I'd give my life for you
Twist that knife for you

Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
Yea I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yea I'm dying for you

I'd give my life for you
Twist that knife for you
It's all, all for you...

Love is death, love is dying
With every breath, cells dividing
I'm dying for you
Yea I'm dying for you
Love is steel, a silver lining
With every tear multiplying
I'm crying for you
Yea I'm dying for you
