Laurel And Hardy

I thought you were joking when you asked for that kiss

I never expected it would end up like this

My bulletproof baby, identical twins

Laurel and Hardy, pineapple and gin

I made you a prison inside of my heart

I fed you confessions between the bars

The keys to my kingdom for an hour of yours

The Moon to my ocean, the tide to my shore

If you had been listening, maybe you would've heard

The sound of my heart like a panicking bird

Beats at the window and bloodies its wings

My favorite poison, my honeybee sting

I took up the mantle of unshakable faith

On the road to Damascus, I fell to my face

A volunteer martyr burned for your sake

I was a beggar, your love was small change

Now there are no conditions, no treaty to sign

No terms of surrender, no changing our minds

The last time I saw you, you were turning away

And I lost my ambition to beg you to stay

Every old song told me, "True love makes you blind"

But I wasn't listening as I gouged out my eyes

And stumbling in darkness, I reached for your hand

But you slipped through my fingers like hourglass sand

My favorite poison, my honeybee sting

My unanswered question
