lyrics

Thanks for the silencia
Thanks for all the tears
Thanks for making totems of your fears
Thanks likewise for making sure
There was narrow aperture
Why not sew your eyes shut altogether, dear?

Terror and suffering
Not playing buffering
Guilt trips and grievances
That's what you think is love

My mind is full of poison
My heart is full of glee
You're in the dark, you're peering, but you can't see me
My cup it overfloweth
My life is full of woe
You've got the time to listen, but you can't know

Trouble and suffering
Hunger and poverty
Heartache and misery
That's what I think is love
Depression and suicide
That's what I think of love

There ain't nothing left to prove
We both know when you make one wrong move
I'm a swarm, extreme about my hive
You know this thing ain't got no legs
We're just here because we need the eggs
But how do you propose to take me alive?

Champagne and misery
Struggle and desperation
Constant humiliation
That's what we make of love
Torture and treachery
Libel and lechery
Betrayal and deceit
That's what we've made of love
Paranoia, claustrophobia, asphyxiation
That's what we call love
