Idol

Love is a match you hold against the dark Love, the circling moth embarks Love, the hope that falls apart Love is the knife you hold in my heart Love inpatient, unkind regard Love is everything you aren't Love is the gun that goes off at the start. In the China shop, screaming about missed sleep In the ravaged church, mourning defeat Scorch the earth and then retreat The virgin inside, calling to me I am the god you could not be I am the demon that you freed Love, unforgiving and unclean Love, the gun against your teeth Love, Get down on your knees
