Shrapnel of a Love Affair
Father of life
Twist the knife
Until I heal
And no longer feel
And no longer weep
Let me die in my sleep
Don't keep me spinning like a mirror ball
I'm tired of reflecting the joy of others
Cut me loose and let me fall
To rest among my tired brothers
We're the frantic and unfair
Living like we never care
We hear the wicked, see the sinners
Fight the gifted, kill the winners
We laugh in desperate despair
Among the shrapnel of a love affair
Sister of sin
Kill your kin
Steal their story
Strip their glory
And bury the past
Their names won't last
Don't let faithfulness desert you
Wear it like a shiny golden ring
Be prepared someone might hurt you
And words don't really mean a thing
We're the frantic and unfair
Living like we never care
We hear the wicked, see the sinners
Fight the gifted, kill the winners
We laugh in desperate despair
Among the shrapnel of a love affair
I want to be loved like a flower loves the soil
And rest on a mattress without razor blades
I want to shine so bright the sun needs shades
And never be tempted by snake oil
We're the frantic and unfair
Living like we never care
We hear the wicked, see the sinners
Fight the gifted, kill the winners
We laugh in desperate despair
Among the shrapnel of a love affair
Twist the knife
Until I heal
And no longer feel
And no longer weep
Let me die in my sleep
Don't keep me spinning like a mirror ball
I'm tired of reflecting the joy of others
Cut me loose and let me fall
To rest among my tired brothers
We're the frantic and unfair
Living like we never care
We hear the wicked, see the sinners
Fight the gifted, kill the winners
We laugh in desperate despair
Among the shrapnel of a love affair
Sister of sin
Kill your kin
Steal their story
Strip their glory
And bury the past
Their names won't last
Don't let faithfulness desert you
Wear it like a shiny golden ring
Be prepared someone might hurt you
And words don't really mean a thing
We're the frantic and unfair
Living like we never care
We hear the wicked, see the sinners
Fight the gifted, kill the winners
We laugh in desperate despair
Among the shrapnel of a love affair
I want to be loved like a flower loves the soil
And rest on a mattress without razor blades
I want to shine so bright the sun needs shades
And never be tempted by snake oil
We're the frantic and unfair
Living like we never care
We hear the wicked, see the sinners
Fight the gifted, kill the winners
We laugh in desperate despair
Among the shrapnel of a love affair
