Album: Power Trips Down Lovers Lane

she says you're deserving of affection
far in excess of
anything we have on hand

you should be consumed in sweet attention
volcanic flow of love
to petrify you where you stand

so why are you trying to fight it? ignite it until
it can fill your lava lamp

she says you've been worthy opposition
you've matched me stride for stride
i'm tempted just to let you win
we've been running out of ammunition
and you've got too much pride
to let your reinforcements in

so why do you find it surprising uprisings occur in your mercenary camp?
with bombs strapped to their chests, and capsules in their rings
i hope you don't suggest
that they only watch you because you're deserving

so why do you want to suspend it? just end it.
and why why why do you want to derail it and stay lit?
i've seen you careening down that ramp

you fall for the sake of feeling queasy
i fall 'cause i've got no ground beneath me
you fall
