Bill Of Love

The lovers today 
Move just like machines
And the mood they produce
Is cold as can be

For I look at you
And you look at me
And the distance we fear
Is all that we see

'Cause I should be you, to love you
And you should be me, to love me

But still, I need to love,
Need to breed,
Need to force me in your house,
I need the warmth,
Need the roof,
I need the cover of your house,
Need a room, need a bed,
Need to grow inside your house,
I need the stone, need the need,
Need the building of
Your house...
Where your plot delivers me

In the house
Where your heart can ease the pain
In the house with it's ceilings made of flesh
In that house
Breaking up,
Breaking up is not for me

Still the steps that we take
Are quiet as glass
And the moves that we make
Are colder than stone

For you are the way
But I'm still the goal
And when you want your share
We just change our role..
'Cause I......
