Lyrics for Venus And Bacchus

close my eyes Pull my heart strings Pour my tears from your hands 'connections are never easy,'You said Empty words, empty soul "I believe that we are afraid of one another" "And I, I believe that you have died within me" ... I fade from myself I miss you again I fade from myself I miss you again... again what have we got? what have we got? Bloody broken and hidden away I seek the rope from which we will hang Or so it seems Or so it seems The dance of flesh on flesh has rendered us blind I look into eyes, I look into stone It's better to be stepped on than left all alone. It's better to be stepped on than left all alone. alone So now I choke on yesterday when I was someone And I wonder where 'forever' went And how our 'everything' came undone I opened my eyes and the heaven beneath us died.
