Lyrics

Bodies

[Verse 1] Cast the pearls aside Of a simple life of need Come into my life forever [Pre-Chorus 1] The crumbled cities stand as known Of the sights you have been shown Of the hurt you call your own You know, you know [Chorus] Love is suicide Love is suicide Love is suicide Love is suicide [Bridge 1] The empty bodies stand at rest Casualties of their own flesh Afflicted by their dispossession [Refrain] But no bodies ever knew No bodies No bodies felt like you No bodies [Chorus] Love is suicide Love is suicide Love is suicide Love is [Verse 2] Now we drive the night To the ironies of peace You can't help deny forever [Pre-Chorus 2] The tragedies reside in you The secret sights hide in you The lonely nights divide you in two In two, in two [Bridge 2] All my blisters now revealed In the darkness of my dreams In the spaces in between us [Refrain] No bodies ever knew No bodies And no bodies felt like you No bodies No bodies ever knew No bodies No bodies felt like you No bodies [Chorus] Love is suicide Love is suicide Love is suicide Love is suicide
