Lost Without Love

We don't know love
We don't recognize love
We deserve nothing 
Not even darkness or depression

Session after session 
We deserve absence of existence 
Because even darkness and depression 
Promise light and happiness

Even losses
Proclaim the next fight 
Losses proclaim wins
And wine

And that everything's going to be fine
We don't know love
We know to water the other with vinegar
We know how to induct pain and suffering

Death and crucifixion that's what we're good at
From the beginning of our times
Disobedience and irresponsibility
Have been our character traits

So be thankful for depression 
Be thankful for darkness and fear
As it promises hope for a better tomorrow 
We'd be lost without love
