Desiderium from Misanthrope by Maulskull

Sacrifice my love
Crawl under my skin
Take away my hurt
Let me in

You said you're only happy when it rains
Nah
You're only saddened by the sun that burned you
Before the afterlife from half a life of love that cursed you
I smell the candle light and acolytes of blood and perfume
Dance across our damaged lives of sacrifice and sunken virtue
I'm addicted to your pheromones of acrimony
So take my hand and give our serotonin matrimony
We'll fade together 'til our barren bones are black and lonely
I'll bang my fists again your heart of stone and crack it slowly
I wrote a song for you with borrowed chords and missing notes
And sorrow born from misanthropes
And swallowed swords that slit my throat
My skin is scarred and dark from hollow thorns that stick and poke
I'm crawling towards your tarnished heart that calls me when I listen close
So listen close
You can hear the echoes from a mile away
I'll smile the way the wind blows 'til I let go when you fly away
I'll isolate behind the shades in idle states
And lie awake with thoughts of you in places where my mind escapes

Sacrifice my love
Crawl under my skin
Take away my hurt
Let me in

These obsessions are parasitic and it's petty I can't ignore them
When the memory's photogenic and it's skinny with bad decorum
So afraid to be so pathetic when I'm anything anymore
So I'd rather be copacetic while I pity my lack of boredom
In the city of spider webs and recluses with fiddle backs
Where the bows are still tied in red and the nooses are widow black
I'll be hanging beside your bed with a view through the window cracks
Your the muse that's inside my head with your shoes in my crippled tracks
Let me take you where your grief won't show
Where the birds don't sing and the trees don't grow
Where the dirt soaked leaves in the breeze don't blow
And the words don't sting cause they freeze so cold
Let it eat my soul 'til I find another lie to live in
Nothing was the same once all the stomach butterflies were missing
Mental metamorphosis that doesn't wonder why it's different
Drowning in this puddle of your love that wasn't mine to swim in

Sacrifice my love
Crawl under my skin
Take away my hurt
Let me in
