lyrics

I've got this feeling that you are in love
I've got this terrible notion that you are in love
I've got this feeling that you've found a man
I've got this terrible desire to destroy a man
Is it appropriate for me to be aroused by the thought
Of your preteen self drowning me during a storm?

Sickness is pleasure
And purity keeps me
From feeling a single thing

You better believe it that I am repulsed
You better be gentle because I am feeling repulsed
What sort of behavior did you plan to see?
What sort of despicable habits did you plan to see?
A beautiful teenage boy cries in a wedding dress
But he should not be ashamed as he waits to be burned

Sickness is pleasure
And purity keeps me
From feeling a single thing
I know that you'll be ruined
But I cannot stand
The specifics on how it'll be

I had this notion that we were in love
But since when have notions been good to me?
We're not in love

Mannequins folded and coppered with generous lies have corrupted my sight
Yet mannequins sunburned by blood on the paneling feign their compassion tonight
Apathy makes me intriguing but I cannot even drive myself to care
I've bared my soul for this woman you love, now I'm wondering if you would dare
Dare to dream
Dream about her
Or dare to be
Be without her

One time I held you and I was content
I never let go of you, but I'm no longer content
