Lyrics

The State of Love

What have we done, where do we go from here?
We are stuck in the quicksand of love
Bodies frozen, lungs gasping for air
The black of death will soon come

For the state of love is a lonely place
The state of love is a lonely place
The state of love is a lonely place
My dear

Once upon a time, when we were young
It felt so good to drown
To be consumed, to be buried alive,
Beneath the crush of lust

But the state of love is a lonely place
The state of love is a lonely place
The state of love is a lonely place
My dear

No trick of science
No Act of God
Can repair the damage done
The earth is cracked, the seeds won't take hold
The harvest has come and gone

Once upon a time, when we were young,
I could not see beyond your face
My love for you was ocean sized
Without boundaries without chains

But the state of love is a lonely place
The state of love is a lonely place
The state of love is a lonely place
My dear
