lyrics

I don't know how long
It took me to finally get it
But I curse the day we woke up
In a veil of innocence and tears
My god I wept for years

I feel so lame
Like a wounded dog that's gone insane
She sings so clear, I can't help
But follow her to hell and gone
Just leave the oven on

I call her but I don't want to
I see her but I don't want to
I touch her but I don't want to
I scream in vain

I'm like that fool
In a deck of tarot cards
But even he has more sense
Than to fall into your arms again
Some things never end

I call her but I don't want to
I see her but I don't want to
I touch her but I don't want to
I scream in vain

Just like a bird
Sacrificed in the holy flames
This passion burns and consumes
Until I open up my veins to you
An hope it all comes true

I call her but I don't want to
I see her but I don't want to
I touch her but I don't want to
I scream in vain

I call her but I don't want to
I see her but I don't want to
I touch her but I don't want to
I scream in vain
I scream in vain
I scream in vain
