All In Love How is it that you do this?
How is it that you lie?
Without knowing
Without showing
Showing off
Or Showing up.
How is it that you leave me
Hanging by a thread?
Don’t you know I’m dead now?
Don’t you know I’m fed?
Fed up.
Up.
Upside down.
What does it matter?
Wrong?
Right?
Truth?
Spite?
Damned me for eternity.
Damned me for my sins.
If loving you is sin enough,
Than I’m a sinner, true,
If loving you is damned enough,
Than I’m more damned than you,
More than you’d ever think,
Pain enough
Enough to drive to drink,
Enough to drive that stake,
Stake that life,
Take that life,
Find a way to make the price,
Make me dirtier than death,
Simpler than sign,
Smoother than rhyme,
Ignore what will go away,
Away ‘til our efforts decay,
Wrong until the right is paid
Damned until the sin is laid,
Showed and slain,
Made in pain,
Let me bleed
If you’ll believe me.
Don’t deceive me,
These truthful lips are
My last testament.
