Hook Lyrics

When I first met you I couldn't leave

And I wanted to believe

You had your hook inside of my scheme

I never saw it disappear

And I wondered if you were ever here or in the doorway of another dream

Now there's a siren awake in my mind

While I'm howling out in the moonlight

With a broken hand and two dead blue eyes

And in the morning there rise a thief

And I have to come to believe there is still longing in my bloodstream

I am careful not to say that I love you

Then I drank your eyes like wine and spit them out

From my intoxicated mouth, I'd swallow them now

Wait for the wound to resound the touch of your skin

I keep it buried in my heart

After the lightning, after the rain

Flies a bird amongst the decay

Who is stuck mining this tired vein

I'm getting used to compromise

But not the fingernails in my side

You were lonely beside me at night

I am careful not to say that I miss you

While I'm tangled in this wire night after night

When life becomes easy to pretend is where I will get reborn and die again

Still looking for you in the moon

I can't stop my hands from bleeding on you

I tried not to pull you in, hoped you might pull me through

I can't help this feeling that someday I hope to lose even you

Even you

Even you

An ode to the sun

Lost in the evening

Lost every evening

I do believe

Our love was born of our disease

Oh, mother's son

Angry at everyone

When night starts coming down

I hear the wind and I watch the sound
