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
