black venomous snakes slither over you
i was pulling them off and dodging your daggers too
but you can’t see and you don’t care
how can i breathe the same air
when everything you say is untrue
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
even the moon and sun agree to disagree
so we watch the waves entwined again
but it was too good to be true
our start before fear’s debut
the lights came on and that was the end
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
we won’t put the blame on you
we learned to avoid that sinister brew
but i’ve been broke down and propped up
your lips never touched this cup
it’s the end of days but it seems so subdued
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
