The Tear Garden - Romulus And Venus lyrics

Everything you gave me Lies within a trunk Within a drawer I burned one hundred photographs Or more I fled across the ocean With another face Another name Nothing but my soul Remained the same But still you came With cases I was forced to let you stay You bought the locks The box in which I lay I tried to get away from you I tried to make a break You always see right through me There's no escape I can still remember you with cornets White horses I would run behind You'd flash the sign I dived just to serve you But night-time turned the lady To a girl again You'd slip away You tried to kiss my tears away Pretend there was no day to take me down Nightshade, blades, Niagra Falls I tried them all six times But you would always run behind me And you'd find me Keep me on a leash On a line I'm uncomfortably resigned There's no release 'til you untie me Deny me! I tried to get away from you
