Walk backwards

Only lovers feel the pain Smoke curtains blow Blood on the wall dries No one leaves tonight He throws her out of his window Who knew her bones were so brittle She lands on her knees Silent bleeding But he is not a bad guy He likes to test gravity With other people’s bodies Loud and dark 10,20 blows to the heart Her blood breaks free Soaking her insides A butterfly on meth Change is unstoppable The rearranging of her organs Those same old bones Won’t stop breaking No one hurts you in heaven If only it existed Within arms reach The pearly gates open
