Lyrics

i laughed and put my head to the gun
i smiled and turned my back to the sun
i strangled and snapped the neck of the dove
i talked myself into murdering love

i never wanted it to be this way
i never wanted you to go nor convince you to stay
i never meant to cause you pain
i never meant to be restrained
i never meant to pick your brain

there
in the desert
i let you rot
wither
i left you dying
like a flower
suffocating
from lack of water
hard rough scales
slither
across the dry cracked ground
of the winter
as you whisper in my ear

dont do this now
get through this now
what of us now
so precious now
