Sacrifice

She comes, she comes inside me
Says I fuck somnambulantly
And the smell of asphalt just hit me
She builds gardens in her eyes
Spreads her poison ivy thighs
Like she knows vampires well

I'm her golden haired berserker
She just ball-chained my pitch to a murmur
So when we run this marathon
She only beats me because she cheats me
She's the tortoise because of my hair

And how did I sacrifice things that I want? You were always
She says I've broken her porpoise heart. Lying sideways
I rode these dreams cause I thought they were sacred I was always
Wake to find that I am just scared, just scared, just scared. Tucked away

She thinks I would fight her wars for love
But I fashion myself a gangster
I don't believe in any laws on love
So if you are bleeding me
Because I don't give easily
I swear I'm dry

And how did I sacrifice things that I want? You were always
She says I've broken her porpoise heart. Lying sideways
I rode these dreams cause I thought they were sacred I was always
Wake to find that I am just scared, just scared, just scared. Tucked away

Tangled in her hair
Lips unfold limbs as she snakes around me
Drunk in her olive skin, sweat gleams like stars
Off her body
And in these carnal juices
Somewhere I'll find my astrology
And just when I think I'm believing
Medea hits the air as my words turn to cream
Medea hits the air as my heart starts to scream
And somewhere right there those flames consumed me

Now she runs, she runs beside me
And how we speak silently
'Cause that asphalt sure hit me
For I am a hollow man
In Eliot's Wasteland
But now I cry
