Lyrics for Grief Beggar
My love you've spoilt my needs I've been stepping on these egg shells, you've been stepping on my throat I left myself open to these wolves, organs exposed My tendons kept us sewn as one I hold her one last time before I leave this place With the knowledge that she is unaware of what's happened It's a pity to see you leave, but I'm keeping the best of me The fearful always talk, always talk You're a layer of sadness that won't go away You're a half hidden home of death and I won't come up alive Your passage was a lung Knowing it will never last Crossing out your name Just moments of joy God I hate the way I am around you With bitter words I plead, hold me We had our time together Missed you more than I could bear With a glad heart I had to let you go Closing off the past, dreaming as I go These things that unified us, caused us so much pain
