lyrics

The horse has bolted in the stable
A force that split me at the seams
What was it that you said about cards on the table?
You don't know what that means

This house was built on my desire
There’s bodies swept beneath the rug
Somebody said love's all there was, but I killed away my love
Now come give me a hug

You don't know how long I've run, just what it takes
You don't know how hard I've shook, how soft it breaks

We got tangled up in this
Time just seems to move so quick
Why get all bent up over it?
Go cry yourself to sleep
Its the slow knife that cuts deep

I swear it feels just like I'm dying
I know that you've been dying too
Darling, teach me how to live with this heart full of spiders
God damn, it’s surely gonna give soon

Never had to pry, never made as far as your cellar door.
It's the very thing that I want from you, that you should ignore.

Such a crooked thing, so selfish is this love for you
I'll be selling on all I take from you as living proof.
