Live Before I'm Dead

When your heart beats it’s lit like a fire

Before it burns up with my desire

There is no reflection in my eyes

I’ll spread my wings and touch the skies

When I fall in and I sink under

Why I am still here is my hearts wonder

In my cold heart I do dread

How do I live my life before I’m dead?

 

I see you and want to touch

To blame, to hold, to love, to crush

In the night my love for you is strong

Then I loathe you all the day long

I pull you close and here to stay

With a kiss take your breath away

Your blood in mine, my hungers fed

How do I live my life before I’m dead?

 

My cold skin touches your face

Your body shivers from fallen grace

Your deep darkness held inside

The soft tears you try to hide

You think at home it will be fine

But you’ll be mine again in time

I watch you sleeping in your bed

How do I live my life before I’m dead?

 

Eternity without you I do dread

How do I live my life before I’m dead?
