Before The End

(albüm: Letters From The Underground - 2008)

I left my girl at the top of the stairs
Tears in her eyes, hands in her hair
Brushed myself down like I don't care
Force a smile, get out of there

Now all the casual cruelty
Hardly seemed so wrong
Those twists of the knife
How easily forgiven, well

It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon
It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon

Elemental force of nature, I fall into your eyes
As you rush through the veins I tear, soothe, all that I despise
Your fragile brutality, our centrifugal pain
Draws the breath right out of me, to pull us round again

Please keep me with you, safe, my love
'Cause we will meet again before the end

I met my girl by the ringroad
Head in my hands
She said "I love you but I'll hurt you"
I said "I understand"
And I cherish that malignancy
In every part of me
We the willing amputees
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over again
Until the end

Just one kiss to build our dreams upon
It's just one kiss to build a dream upon
It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon
It's just one kiss to build a dream upon
It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon
