Could We Burn, Darling?

In the centre of the town the sky
seems starless all we can do is climb
and I'll wake in the mortuary
with a taste for those
ketamine queens

But could we burn darling?
like fires in the night
bloodless inferno incinerates
all hopes and dreams but ours

Damn it I know how pathetic I sound
but I'm scratching for the cash to bring you round
would gold, could gold quench
your lusting for more
and my envy ridden core

But could we burn darling?
like fires in the night
swear I'll forgive you
then the only hitch will be
forgiving me
(for those I've killed)

And I can hear the sound of something moving in the back
They're having sex on the floor
and I'm reminded of that
Bloodsucking pious preacher
peeling off your dress
With every scratch that they scrape
and every laceration

I can't hear the voice of reason anymore
I'm the prince of the hypocrites
all bloated and drunk
But there's still time

But could we burn darling?
Like fires in the night
Their eyes shine like gaslight
Their fingers gag my throat
If I could get away,
I'd do anything to save you and say
Could we burn darling?
Like colliding meteorites
They say I'm broken
But I promise I can stay with you a while
