Death Inside of Life

Burning with desire
My heart is on fire
And my fists are tightly clenched
Against a fire that can't be quenched

I don't know what you're used to
Babe
But I am used to war
I've seen it all before
I don't want it anymore

The law of false attraction
Dictates it is pointless to begin
And it's a waste of time
Of course
But I will tak eyour heart by force

And I wish it was as simple
As let's fall in love and go to bed
But someone always ends up dead
The rest is better left unsaid

The only words that express the way I feel
Do not exist
Loosen the shackles on my wrist
With just a little kiss

The magnets in my heart
Are tearing me apart
From the ceiling to the floor
All my molecules at war

And though it breaks my heart
I am finally immune
To the death inside of life
Which is another way of saying
"love"
