The Bleeding Lover
Inside I rain
Outside is the rainbow.
Flow of grimest malady
Through my vein,
Melodies blow elsewhere
They don't heal the pain.
Elixir of my soul
Hidden in your heart.
You know not.
I can't open the cavern
Of my ador and yearn,
Or like an insane
Cut the flux in my vein.
Only in your deadly need
Deep inside my blood
I can bleed
And go on to bleed.
