Alien Taste

left thinking
left drinking
your lips
carnivorous
thought violence
chose silence
a thousand words
all meaningless
left sinking
eyes blinking
your lips
so dangerous
in smoke we
can't see our
heart in your hand
our blood on your fist

it's your alien taste
that makes it hard for you
to love what you want
do what you have to do
it's these alien thoughts
tearing my mind in two
why can't you see what it's putting me through
why can't I make you feel it too

left hoping
wires smoking
old ghosts haunting this machine
still broken
still choking
on all the things that could have been
time wasting
thoughts racing
burning wires on your fingertips
in dark
we can't see our
heart in your hand
our blood on your fist

it's your alien taste
that makes it hard for you
to love what you want
do what you have to do
it's these alien thoughts
tearing my mind in two
why can't you see what it's putting me through
why can't I make you feel it too

(all these thoughts are alien
every circuit's going numb
find some equilibrium
still afraid of what I've become)

it's your alien smile
that's why we fell for you
we have what you want
do what you have to do
all the alien thoughts
tearing my mind in two
why can't you see what it's putting me through
why can't I make you feel it too?
