Doornail - Love Song From a Zombie

DOORNAIL (love song from a zombie) 
 

I’m alive despite the rigors 
Day by day believing 
In a world so fraught 
With each and every feeling 
 
One thing keeps me moving 
The very thought of you 
Wanting now more than ever 
Fast or slow, I pursue 
 
Times I feel dead inside 
Times so alive think I’ll burst 
My desire may be raving 
But for me, you come first 
 
 
chorus 
 
Life weighs heavy 
It feeds off the heart 
Famished, I am 
Crave more than one part 
Is it really living 
To feel oh so much 
Yet nothing in one’s stead 
Not knowing another’s touch 
 
 
 
Rend my clothes in fury 
Rage surges through my head 
Sufferings of the damned 
Shuffling as though undead 
 
Anguished moans 
Drift on the wind 
Over your compound 
My longing drifts in 
 
You fled in terror 
From love that sought 
You can run 
You may hide 
But some day you’ll be caught 
 
 
chorus
