Love Lust and a Broken Heart

Love Lust and 
a broken heart

Robot feelings
and missing parts

rotten insides 
and bloodstained art

we stand together but
we're worlds apart

Divided by the sun and moon
high on sadness 
lost in gloom
toxic energy immune
baby growing in a poisoned womb
we play each other like a hollow tune
and feed on emptiness 
with a silver spoon 
hopes and dreams destroyed too soon

sticking needles in our arms
blood dances in the liquid harm
we shoot it up don't be alarmed
it's our secret lucky charm

succumb to pain
get lost within
to feel the numbness as we sin
broken auto-pilot grins
saliva dripping off our chins
fatal attraction to heroin
the highest low we've ever been 
enslaved to the lifelong binge 
a kiss from Jesus in a syringe

Love Lust and 
a broken heart

robot feelings 
with missing parts

an empty six
and dirty sheets
is where our twisted lust love creeps
we  and fight
and lie and cheat
like a broken record on repeat
your love lust pain i can't release
drowning in confusion deep

blood dust and exhausted thoughts
forgotten nobodies left to rot
wasted days and washed out nights 
the darkness overrides the light
he shoots the black
i shoot the white
perceptions twisted
blinded sight 
but whose to say what's wrong or right ?

love lust and 
a broken heart

robot feelings 
missing parts
