lyrics

you bruise me
and i take the pain with joy,
pressing on my skin to feel the soreness
feel you again

in the hollow of my collarbone
the crook of your arm rests;
i feel your weight even when you are away

where you gripped me, fingers tightening,
you leave your love as purple and red islands
in the sea of my body

little shards of pleasure become pain
that i savor with the remnants of the taste of your skin,
the taste of your limb

my neck, my back, my arms, my lips
give way to our desire
you're setting me on fire

volcano's erupting in my soul -
Vesuvius got nothing on me
villages are burning

the top blows off
i'm sure there's no time left
it's too late to give warning

lying here besides you, buried in ashes
thousands of years will go by before they find us
here in the darkness

they'll put our bodies on display,
just as an emblem - just to say:
even pleasure ends in pain

with one breath left, there's nothing i can say
the world for us is ending
bruises remain
