Romulus and Venus Songtext

von The Tear Garden

Everything you gave me
Lies within a trunk
Within a drawer
I burned one hundred photographs
Or more
I fled across the ocean
With another face
Another name
Nothing but my soul
Remained the same
But still you came
With cases
I was forced to let you stay
You bought the locks
The box in which I lay
I tried to get away from you
I tried to make a break
You always see right through me
There's no escape
I can still remember you with cornets
White horses
I would run behind
You'd flash the sign
I dived just to serve you
But night-time turned the lady
To a girl again
You'd slip away
You tried to kiss my tears away
Pretend there was no day to take me down
Nightshade, blades, Niagra Falls
I tried them all six times
But you would always run behind me
And you'd find me
Keep me on a leash
On a line
I'm uncomfortably resigned
There's no release 'til you untie me
Deny me!
I tried to get away from you
