Number of Man

from Nemesis by A Flower in Disguise

lyrics

A love that could kill touches me
For all the ways you aren’t forward thinking
Teach me how to breath
On my hands and knees
If it pleases you
The pleasure kills me cold
If it pleases you, the pleasure is yours
Living in someone else’s world
I’m bad for you, too much of a good thing
What can I hold on to?
Be my virtue

Negotiating my mind, heart and body
As a form of lobotomy
A searing truth of brilliant damage
Decadence, still like it’s your dying wish
My warmth lies lower
Wounds rename themselves and move
Lost I belong to you
Smile give me misery
Don’t flirt just end me, the way I envy

Thoughts take on life, languish I fight
Apprehension even in the foresight
Fixation has me seeing only scars
I can only whisper to this space
But I am confident, the number of man
Craving, craving destruction and reformation
Unending passion I work to defend
Bottling up reason as opulence
Even if I never rest, all I wished
Lead to this, earnest desire to be damned awry
I’m only human

Take my meaning
Crying until I’m blind
Don’t start if can’t finish me
Don’t waste a drop, don’t stop, tease me
Gunning for a love I can’t hold
Falling to hold something
The joy of nothing, it’s coping, endless hoping
I never thought you could handle me
I don’t doubt that you’ll fail me
Be still please save your love for me

Negotiating my mind, heart and body
As a form of lobotomy
A searing truth of brilliant damage
Decadence, still like it’s your dying wish
My warmth lies lower
Wounds rename themselves and move
Lost I belong to you
Smile give me misery
Don’t flirt just end me, the way I envy

Thoughts take on life, languish I fight
Apprehension even in the foresight
Fixation has me seeing only scars
I can only whisper to this space
But I am confident, the number of man
Craving, craving destruction and reformation
Unending passion I work to defend
Bottling up reason as opulence
Even if I never rest, all I wished
Lead to this, earnest desire to be damned awry
I’m only human

Thoughts take on life, languish I fight
Apprehension even in the foresight
Fixation has me seeing only scars
We stabbed each other in the heart
Our best together is to keep apart

Waiting for the sky to fall
I show all I can be
Don’t start if can’t finish me
Nothing is beneath you but your fall
