lyrics

There is a line,
There is a threshold,
A point at which the pain won't dull.
I've made theirs mine,
Sunk others' vessels
And drugged myself into a lull.

So it's over when I say so.
You'll stand still, and you will swing low.
You will not leave this house,
The one you forced your way into--
Not until I've had my way with you.

I'm sometimes genius,
Sometimes jackal,
Even when my aim is true.
The heat between us
Hums and crackles,
And I know you must feel it, too.

To hear you beg for release
Makes all the pounding increase--
Knowing you gave me
Not one moment's peace.

I've thrown in with knaves,
Joined all lost causes,
Crossed every line that I knew there to be,
But stand to save
My greatest losses
For the day that you let go of me.
