H. I. M.

H. I. M. - When Love & Death Embrace lyrics

Why don't you ever want to play?

I'm tired of this piece of string.

You sleep as much as I do now,

And you don't eat much of anything.

I don't know who you're talking to.

I made a search through every room,

But all I found was dust that moved

And shadows of the afternoon.

And listen,

About those bitter songs you sing.

They're not helping anything.

They won't make you strong.

So we should open up the house.

Invite the tabby two doors down.

You could ask your sister if

She doesnt bring her bassett hound.

Ask the things you shouldnt miss.

Tape hits and the modern man,

Cold war and card catalogs

To come and join us if they can.

For girly drinks and parlor games,

We'll pass around the easy lie

Of absolutely no regrets.

And later maybe you could try

To let your losses dangle off,

The sharp edge of a century.

Talk about the weather or

how the weather used to be.

And I'll cater

With all the birds that i can kill.

Let their tiny feathers fill

Disappointment.

Lie down,

And lick the sorrow from your skin.

Scratch the terror and begin

To believe you're strong.

All you ever want to do

Is drink and watch tv.

Frankly that thing

Doesn't really interest me.

I swear I'm gonna bite you hard

And taste your tinny blood.

If you dont stop the self-defeating

Lies you've been repeating

Since the day you brought me home.

I know you're strong.
