My only love Did you know what I'd become? That I'd be coming? How all your reasons rung True like a prophecy Cruel like a curse And I know it's not your doing But you heard the toxin first My only love Last night I crawled into a church In pitch dark I said, "I want to believe" And I clawed my way off of perches Say, Lord, If you're really here Please tell me Is it your will that I can never again Touch my only love? Never Never And then I Die on my only love My only love Why? Well Testemony rungs From your mouth Like a cobra from a basket And you held a darker question there You were too afraid To ask it Well, ask it! Ask it! I know where the answer lies In the dust of bones and mountains In the malevolent of time From your birth day To your deathbed Don't forget to tell your child Love is rendered Temporary And forever is a lie Oh, my only love My only love Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
