lyrics

Traced your scars through the ashen debris
I was yours till the end, Ma Chérie

I love you, & you should know
That I’ll bury this book under snow
and someday you’ll unearth what I wrote

That last time I gave up…

Fashioned one baited song for the end,
Although all of this is just pretend.

I love you, & you should know
That I’ll bury this book under snow
And one day you’ll unearth what I wrote

Just how deep can you dig?

---

Have the guts to swim in disgrace, jesters laughing and dancing in place
If my demons created my sins, then this hemorrhaging is within

But why’s this script in reverse?
Jesters laughing and dancing in place
History, heed my pleas to break free
Dear God, I’m going fucking insane


Please don’t listen now these words are for sale
Mark up this failure before the ink dries up
I promise, lover, nothing’s really real
Are you fading or are you pulling back?

Your shadow is dancing while you lie still, my precious faith in a dying metaphor.

You can never make me give up the gun.
You can never make me give up the gun.
You can never make me give up the gun.
You can never make me give up the gun.

Lavola makes music for painters, music for lovers, and music for the masochists. ... more
