LOVE KILLS

Please let me wake

I want to feel a forward motion

I want to make a change

Better than before

But love kills everything it touches

Turns so bloody in its clutches

You can’t break away

Or try to cheat the day

Call me a slave

I’d like to turn this whole thing over

I’d like to walk away

Better than before

But love kills everything it touches

Moves so silent on its crutches

You can’t shed the weight

You’re forced to bear the strain

In these trying times it seems to be

Me against you and you against me

Shadows fill your eyes

The spirit starts to fear the lies

Giving ground and taking some

A life lived on the run

And there’s a second chance

And there’s a second chance…

But love kills everything it touches

Turns so bloody in its clutches

You can’t break away

Or try to cheat the day
