Love, Like a Leech Lyrics

I saw them swim, they were hunting in hallways

Hell had no name but it was chasing us always

We wade through the water, sideways in our skin

Heads above the filth that our bodies are forced to live in

Like love, like a leech, like a worm

It works it’s way within and sits in my marrow

All flesh and teeth, a kiss for the keeper of the gallows

In the silence of spring we decompose in the soil

A feast for your roots to grow, then fruit, then spoil

Like love, like a leech, like a worm

Like a hole that is yet to be. 



I saw you swim upside down in a high tide

Your eyelids are liars, your eye balls are like sunlight

That settles in the hollow of my skull like a seed

Your hand in mine, or at least where my hand should be

Like love, like a leech, like a worm

Like a hole that is yet to be.
