Death to Death

Wide eyed, grinning in the darkened room,
Sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon.
Coming in the morning, in the afternoon, forgetting.

So tired waiting for the end to come,
Fully dead already but forever young.
Hello, my dearest father it's your favorite son,
There's things that I'm regretting.

I am destroyer, I am lover. I am destroyer, I am lover.
I love one thing, destroy the other. I am destroyer, I am lover.

A gypsy told my fortune then I told her hers.
I said "You'll die high in the mountains wrapped in silver furs.
You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun
And you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun."

I have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone.
And nobody was listening so I wrote this song.
And when you know the chorus, you can sing along.
You destroy the things you love, even though you know it's wrong.

I am destroyer, I am lover. I am destroyer, I am lover.
Why love one thing and not the other? I am destroyer, I am lover.
And when i kiss, I like to smother. I am destroyer, I am lover.
