Before There Was Rosalyn - Der Weibliche Führer lyrics

rate me

I am Oedipus at the brink of decision.<br />

To escape my demons<br />

we will meet face to face.<br />

You stand with eyes like the winter and a reptile heart.<br />

With the fury of a lion and the face of an angel, you bear the riddle<br />

How far will a man go to dance with the machine?<br />

The answer is poison when the question is lust.<br />

Poetry's a lipstick that does not complement your skin<br />

and those wings don't mean you know a thing about Heaven.<br />

I know our lips<br />

fit but that doesn't mean that they belong.<br />

Your voice is a ghost that haunts every inch of this town.<br />

I've sold this body to pale skin in poor taste one too many times.<br />

They say the end comes in fire, but from what I've tasted of your desire, yours will burn in ice.<br />

You pave the road to unrequited dreams and I'm the hypocrite who follows.<br />

I'm the fool who stumbles.<br />

Grace give me strength.<br />

I must resist<br />

<br />
