lyrics

There isn’t much to say her life is not like your life he keeps her locked away the remnants of his old wife he knows she’ll leave someday and take the whole world with her
But that’s the price you pay for love

He can’t bear to let her go he can’t let anybody know they won’t ever understand even though she’s dangerous he still wants to hold her hand

The girl he knew is gone but he still sees her clearly behind those snapping jaws and knows he loves her dearly but those men she feeds upon their cries they haunt his living nightmares
But that’s the price you pay for love

She sits tied down in a room that smell like lavender perfume and rot they mix together sick and sweet he can’t feed her fast enough and she can’t get enough to eat

What’s not alive but somehow stands dead starlight shines on haunted lands her lips are red to match her hands
and when she walks she shambles

The doctors grim and grave said she was too far gone to save but a clever man always finds a way some books should not be read and some things are better dead but he just couldn’t let it end that day
She never sleeps she never breathes she never speaks she never reads
Her hunger goes on and on and on he’s just glad that she’s there and he doesn’t care that she kills she kills
she kills she kills

What’s not alive but somehow stands dead starlight shines on haunted lands her lips are red to match her hands
and when she walks and when she walks
What’s not alive but somehow stands dead starlight shines on haunted lands her lips are red to match her hands
and when she walks she shambles

A blend of sixties and seventies rock refracted through a prism of modern influences (grunge, LA psych scene, doom) to create a fuzzy, lo fi, psychedelic trip.
