The Shape of Love to Come

They say it takes some time to find the one you're meant for

I spent that time in stranger's beds

Had my mom pick me up at 5:30 in the morning

From a downtown loft where the Cthulhu inside me was fed

But now he's dead

And as these writers age, they run out of conflict to chronicle

Become flabby and mundane

But what we built in hell is anything but boring

It's the kind of love-lust that could drive a madman insane

And the truth is I can't be aroused unless I'm in love

So thank God I found you, thank God I found you

And I want you

And I need you, now and forever

And I want you

And I need you, now and forever

With no irony, I'll exclaim, "You Are My Shelter"

As I sing along to your sister's tune

And you have built these walls since you were smaller than Lucy

I'm gonna break them down in the sheets of our shadowy room

The truth is I can't be around unless I'm in love

So thank God I found you, thank God I found you

"As I wrestle with my broken breath

I've got these scratches and sores

I watch you lit up by a machine

This is more than I can afford

It's got me tangled and tongue-tied

Heaving blackened lungs

I pay penance for the things I think

I've lost, and all I've done

So can you guide me, Sandman, with our bodies warm?

The only way I'll lapse into this coma

Is the spark of your sweet storm

The sound of rain in a graveyard

The sound of us escalates

So tell me that you want me, need me

And that it's not too late."

Soon you'll fall asleep

So breathe out the fear right now

All I really want to do is stay in bed with you

And make you happy

Soon you'll fall asleep

So breathe in the night right now

All I really want to do is be inside of you

And make you happy

Make you happy, make you happy

Make you happy, make you happy
