Love Is Illness

Atreyu

My soul it screams for you

Can you not here it?

My arms reach out for you

Why can't you take them?

My heart burns only for you

Can you extinguish it?

I love only to be loved by you

Why can't you love me too?



I long only to be held and care for

Why can't it be

Am I to die alone and bitter

What the hell is wrong with me?

My face is blackened and my eyes are sewn shut

with fear and sorrow

I no longer wish to love anything

Just cut the heart right out of me



Sometimes I choke on all the false love

that infects me

sometimes everything is not enough to cure

the sickness inside of me



I did it all cried black tears for you

Why can't you see?

See like a vampire biting my heart

Suck the love right out of me

Don't even care as my blood stains the floor

Cannot be cleaned

You cut me out and tore me through

Six feet unders the place for me



I feel it all as it sickens me

It feels like im dying inside

Because of the love I gave that cant be returned

My longing for instability is a personality flaw



I trust you with respect

And you tear me down
