lyrics

I can recall when I first fell so hard
You looked right through me
And I swooned
There was something clear
In your soft green eyes
You disarmed me
And the walls fell
I will walk you out of the desert, you said
And I believed you
'Cause I so wanted to believe
I will take you by the hand, you said
I held out my hand
And you pulled away

I will live to see you die, I will live to see you die
An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye
I will live to see you die

I can recall when it first took shape
Like camera lens coming to focus
And I rushed to meet the tide
And it bowled me right over
I was just fool enough let you in
I let you take over
And you ran the joint right into the ground
Tossed in a match
And set the world on fire

And we dance among the ruins
And we dance among the ruins
And we drink and we die laughing

It would be easy to be angry
Because the anger kills the love
And love is fragile
And anger devours it like a raging beast
I don’t want what we have to come to ruin
And wind up alone out in the desert
I just want to feel love
I just want to feel your love
