Lessons In Love And Death There are still songs that feel like your teeth Scraping across the veins in my neck There are still gunshots that sound Like the click of your heels when you walk There are still night skies that feel Like your hands around my throat There are still flowers that feel Like the hairs on your neck when I sink my teeth into your thighs. There are still pavements that feel Like your body against mine in the night There are still movies that feel Like the nightmares that consumed you, and later, me There are still cigarettes that feel Like the way you lit me up and, later, stomped me out There are still cards that feel Like the way you played with me and when you grew tired - put me away. There were many a day where I thought That I might never escape from the abyss of your love Endless, spiralling, oblivious And then I realised. The only way to kill pain, Is to add a little more Because everything new distracts from the old. So I jumped into a new abyss Willing, wanting, wishing The sun is replaced by the moon The trees are replaced by concrete The jungles are replaced by zoos You are replaced by her And I still don't feel any further away from dying.
