from misery with love Lyrics

Ain't no vows upon my lips

I'm blessed with a grace that helps me forget

Everything I seek to claim

I hold in vain by its very name

Ain't no fractions of the hour

Just worried whims and a hope that devours

Every moment turning in on itself

A broken clock on a crooked shelf

And I ain't trying to think too hard

After years of dreamless sleep

This bodies member'n how it used to think

Guided by a got belief

Driven by an old instinct

I am just an animal

That learned how to talk

And forgot how to walk on the ground

With my head bowed down beneath the sun

As we go round and round

Ain't no thoughts of suicide

Hampering my will to thrive

That doesn't mean I'm happy being alive

But I'm holding out till the end of the ride

Ain't no idealistic dreams

Clouding up the way things seem

Out in the desert there's a castle of sand

I built it up with the palm of my hand

But I ain't chasing no mirages

I dug a well underneath the stars

And you can share this cup with me

It's filled with love from misery

I am just an animal

That learned how to talk

And forgot how to walk on the ground

With my head bowed down beneath the sun

As we go round and round

Maybe god is dead and life is decay

And we are the worms that are eating away

At the earthly body of a heavenly host

That haunts my dreams like a holy ghost

Well I wake up in the morning with a burning shame

An indigested anxious pain

I taste the blood dried beneath my teeth

I feel the hollow underneath my feet

But I ain't holding no regrets now

I said my penance and I paid my respects

There ain't no priest or therapist

To absolve me of my ravenousness

For I am just an animal

That learned how to talk

And forgot how to walk on the ground

With my head bowed down beneath the sun

As we go round and round
