Age Old Eros Lyrics

I hope to god that you're not listening

I open doors but all perception needs a limelight

I hope my burning was a pleasurable experience

I'd laugh at your confusion if I didn't love you right

I know your black heart

I watched it turn on me as well

I never thought that I would leave myself

A blind and withered will

I've seen your true cards

I'd always try it all again

I know that underneath the marionette

You're warmer than the rest

I hope you find yourself advantaged

I hope the tendrils all around give up

And leave her alone

I know the weight you hold is endless

I'd never try to further break a rock of

Already shattered stone

You loved my blue heart

But you twisted all my blood around

I never thought I'd lead myself up to the altar

Just to drown

Maybe there's a dark art

The kind that cruel possession is

Those simple-minded rules were never meant

For fools like you and me

I never test love

I see it all in one dissolve

Maybe I'm a crude man

But maybe one day I will find resolve

I know it's never all for nothing

Any deeper meaning, life lesson, or high truth

Seems to pale

Incanted bones of red thread

A dime a dozen factory line

I know it's you that I would choose to pass the time

Honey it's age old

Don't think she don't miss you as well

Unrequited, tied, or jilted

True or false

I know it very well

I know the time holds

I know I saw space in her eyes

I know that what I feel is what

I need to learn to leave behind

I heard the mute say

And it's the whole reason she prays

The human heart

The oldest organized religion

And the blind man wrote

And it's the whole reason I don't

The circle lies of life

Will always lead to vision

Honey it's age old

Don't think I don't miss you as well

Unrequited, tied, or jilted

True or false

I know it very well

I know the time holds

I know I saw verse in his eyes

I know that what I was is what

I need to learn to leave behind
