Elegantly Expressed Depression

I swear I saw death standin' in my hall

Casting her black shadow on my white wall

I reek of death from inside my soul

I'd never thought I'd lose you on a whim

It's so hard to be in love with you

It seems I'm not the only one who failed

Curse the day when I fell into your arms

'Cause seein' you is feelin' like home

I know I saw straight into your soul

A kindred fire burnin' in the moonlit cool

So convinced that you felt the same

To lovers, lovin' you was a burnin' flame

If I only knew this when I was young

I'd never, ever tread this path at all

Don't just call me bitter and depressed

I open up my heart to no success
