Terms and Conditions of Endearment (live) Lyrics

Do you believe in destiny?

I think I was born to be my worst enemy

And I shudder at the thought that my death could come

At hands other than my own

I treat this body like shit

Decaying under my ribs

But it pulls through and survives anyway

At this point, I'll inject my heart with morphine and bliss out in my veins

Oh my darling

Oh my sunshine oh my love

Won't you take my battered soul and cover it up

Kiss me until I'm not sad anymore

Or is the burden of my happiness too heavy to bear

As the sun rises I'll finally go to rest

Dreaming of a life that is never mine to have

And wake up deluded until shock sets in

The chill in my marrow shakes my whole skeleton

And I dream of violence

And I dream of rebirth

Of impossible things that I'll never earn

Oh my darling

Oh my sunshine oh my love

Won't you take my battered bones and cover them up

Oh sweetheart I'm exactly what you wanted to be at 13

Now why the fuck did you wish for this

I love you to the point of loss

I love you to the point of sacrifice

I love you enough to become your enemy and lose you

And it might make up for the ache when you die

You love and live with a dying star

Pulling everything to deliver it in flame

But I have loved you in violent life and glory

And I will love you in violent death all the same

Oh my darling

Oh my sunshine oh my love

Blessed be your soul and bones I'll cover them up

Sweetheart, I miss you in all your relief and suffering

But I will shoulder this burden for everything
