Lyrics
Brutal Romance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All shapes and colours
Rolled and stained in aging hands
Sculpted explosions
Histories unfold
Our jackson pollocked earth turns
A silent witness
Lonely as silent
Poets bequeath best attempts
Romanticising
The brutality
Of the ages and of us
Avarice and lust
Love and death, and death and love
Brutal romance
The silver thread, the sharpened knife
A spinning slow-dance
I can't remember before
Warmth in the veins, lead in the core
Brutal romance
You're dripping with gold
Mine is more interior
Yours is sinking you
Men at attention
Devouring a drowning fleet
Epaulettes of charm
Love and death, and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
In a spinning slow-dance
I can't remember before
Breath in the lungs, blood on the door
Brutal romance
And I want to sing
Over them and into them
What cannot be unsung
And I want to sing
Over you and into you
What cannot be unsung
And I want to sing
Over them and into them
What cannot be unsung
And I want to sing
Over you and into you
What cannot be unsung
Love and death, and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow-dance
I can't remember before
Washing of wounds, won inner wars
Brutal romance
Brutal romance
Brutal romance
