lyrics

TRAGEDY

~~

Less and less, a call distressed
Hidden alone and blue
The tap on my guts spits out blood rust
And all i wanna do is, kill you
In a strange forest black and bent
Where two dead lovers and the orchids went
A passion pyre of funeral fire
Your voice like the whispering wind

So why when you go
Does the daylight not show
An avalanche in the snow
And the sky is split open
And the sea wants our soul
Like a Tragedy befallin

But I can't pretend that I don't dig
The space some pain brings
though I might be dead the next time
Your hotel telephone rings
it's dangerous for me its been so long
Since I've just floated
We're always looking for love
But sometimes there's just no way to hold back the river

So why when you go
Does the daylight not show
An avalanche in the snow
And the sky is split open
And the sea wants our souls
Like a Tragedy befallin

I will fall into you, fall into you, fall in to you like a tragedy
I am callin for you, crawlin for you, callin to you like a tragedy
I will slip your view, slide into view, and spill unto you like a tragedy
I have fallen for you, fallen for you, fallen for you like a tragedy

I will crucify this religion of love!
Like a Tragedy, I'm befallin I'm befallin,
Cuz I ain't even a Tragedy to you.
