Could I
Could I sink into your breath
And fall silent on your sheets
Could I fulfill my lust for death
Along my hearts lonely streets
Could I play your neck like a violin
On a naked bed of sorrowful regrets
Could I invite you to some bathtub gin
And when its empty smokey cigarettes
To slowly kill what we have left
We’ll cherish the pain of desire
In a slumber of passionate rest
We’ll wake with our hearts for hire
