I heard the news today
That you’re not mine to keep
Don’t struggle too much now
While I kill you in your sleep
What is lust if it’s not
Being by yourself?
I won’t be gentle to
The body on the shelf

It’s only water
It’s only fire
It’s only love
It’s only slaughter
We’re only liars
It’s only blood

They’re only thoughts that I’m having;
Thoughts safe within my head
You’re only crying
You’re only dying
You’re only red

I heard the news today
That you weren’t mine to save
I hope that you’re comfortable
In the quiet lasting grave
What is lust if it’s
Not being by yourself?
I won’t be gentle
To the body on the shelf

It’s only water
It’s only fire
It’s only love
It’s only slaughter
We’re only liars
It’s only blood

They’re only thoughts that I’m having
Thoughts safe within my head
You’re only crying
You’re only dying
You’re only dead

It’s only water
It’s only fire
It’s only love
It’s only slaughter
We’re only liars
It’s only blood

They’re only thoughts that I’m having
Thoughts safe within my head
You’re only crying
You’re only dying
You’re only dead
