Have you ever heard that love

Is a metaphor

A metaphor for the taste of the bottom

The fall to the floor

I fall to the floor

I remember me and you

I remember what you did

I remember being numb

I remember feeling sick

For the taste of the bottom

The fall to the floor

Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor

For the way you failed me

And now I'm failing you

I want u to listen

Very

Very carefully

Like the serpent's tongue

Like the storm that shakes me

Like the hand that beats me

Until I'm black and blue

Like the autumn chill

Like the love that failed me

Let the earth remove me

Black and blue

Black and blue

Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor

A metaphor for

What if I'm not good enough

What if I'm not strong enough

What if I'm not kind enough

For what happens next

For what happens then

Like the serpent's tongue

Like the storm that shakes me

Like the hand that beats me

Until I'm black and blue

Like the autumn chill

Like the love that failed me

Let the earth remove me

Black and blue

Black and blue

Like the serpent's tongue

Like the serpent's tongue

Like the storm that shakes me

Like the storm that shakes me

The hand that beats me

The hand that beats me black and blue

Like the autumn chill

Like the autumn chill

Like the love that failed me

Like the love

Love

Black blu
