Deep Love

Am I the only one, who’s gonna live without deep love?
Scrape along my hands and knees, euthinize the poisoned dove
Skull burns with the old truth, that you stab with tepid lies
Faith rots with the ravens, my soul’s already died

You’re the warden of my weakness, and the powder in my case
Stop a cruiser with your street strut, and a lion-charge with your face
Shank me in the corner, board the chamber with a smile
Your promise terrifies me, like a shark with perfect thighs

It all comes down to your body
Let me soak and shake
Give it up a little just for habit's sake
Best I can hope for
Just live without deep love

Where is the minister, for the nomad to address
In these opaque days of self-love, self-drive, self, worth, self-righteousness
While the victim is the victor, knock a bestseller from their pain
Unless you’ve fallen from the jungle, flesh-ripped by your Jane

Am I the only one, who’s gonna live without deep love?
Scramble for the shelter, from the flaming towers above
In the Babylonian bordello, your grip locked on my keys
See no use in running, when the nightmare’s your disease

It all comes down to your body
Let me soak and shake
Give it up a little just for habit's sake
Best I can hope for
Just live without deep love
