lyrics

time and time again i have fallen on my sword
while you have kept an ever watchful eye
your slips of the tongue in front of the lord
the steps that i retrace right back to where i lie
i am your creation now, something not quite human
but nonetheless the monster that you've made
but then again everything i ever wanted
for everything i ever loved sounded like such a fair trade

missiles on our beds where heads used to lie
with faces like foreign flags we make nothing but war
you left at dawn, you dismantled the sun
in the brightest of spring
and now the calendar conspires with the frame
to fade out the picture

set down your weapons if you could be so kind
set down your weapons
sell me your truths and deny me mine
your countless mistakes are blurring the line

set down your weapons if you could be so kind
set down your weapons
sell me your truths and deny me mine
all of your mistakes have blurred the line

too proud for eyes
we stare at each other's chests
as if on fire
you said my heart was a bomb
that you gave up trying to diffuse
i take aim at yours but neither of us realize
we're only drowning in our irradiated room
