[Verse] My heart beats in color And it's pitch black The rhythm draws you near And then holds you back My pulse is strong But my essence is weak now A painted vessel Over a fearful child [Verse] Since birth I knew you my darling I see your face From behind the veil Signed destiny into my soul woman Thought I'd like you better If you grazed my face see [Chorus] Oh my love I've known you from birth I will love you 'til I'm laying six feet under dirt Even then when the worms devour me My love for you Will crawl out of me And into you My love My love [Verse] I heard this Running away from me See Goddamn girl the instant I met you I felt the shared sweet pain Of a bitten apple I loved you then I'll love you now In spite of my tackle [Bridge] I hated myself when I wrote this But when you sail just a few years away from me Maybe nevermore playing queen of the serpent's tongue [Verse] I used to be so good at hockey dear And I watched your dad's favourite player when I was a kid I performed so perfectly and so spiritually Yet still won nothing
