Love breeds a neurotoxin

To walk on the snow and leave no trace,
Sprinkles swell to streams of red velvet,
Catatonic sincerity see my bloody float upstream,
Into the mouth of the slippery serpent,
I'm picking off the varnish on my nails with impatient delight,
Whilst my counterfeit purity washes away in the rain,

Because integrity sells for less than its worth,
Maybe it's you, pulling love from a dark place,

My mind collapses by the lake, by the electric fire,
Those thoughts abandoned at state lines,
Where my agony lays long and constant,
And where blood hangs like a spiders web,
Jewellery for the self destructive,
Hanging blood drop pearls,
Till you see people swallow their smiles,

When ever we know,
When will this feeling show,
Where ever we may go,
The decay my heart erodes,

Chain me to a chair,
Slip me a cheap buck,
Plait and cut my hair,
Dress me in fishnets,
And paint red on my lips,
Whisper in my ear,
Your worth nothing more than this,

Have I just got to stop fighting,
I'm as corrupt as they come,
Under neon luminescence is loneliness,

Crawling out of a pit of shadow,
There's no mistaken what I've become,
Rejecting my reflection, and your affection,
Live in darkness,
And darkness you shall become.
