Love is a Virus
1996 - 2002
Love is a virus 
infecting the soul 
tasting your pain 
and eating it whole 

Love has no vaccine 
no common cure 
it destroys the wicked 
entraps the pure 

Killing with kindness 
a fiery death 
it sucks out your life 
takes all your breath 

Spiralling downward 
there's no escape 
from obsession and jealousy 
fear and hate 

Lay down with dogs 
and you'll get fleas 
tear apart 
those memories 

I never knew 
just what I would find 
until I left my love behind 

It comes to you slowly 
luring you in 
bringing to surface 
the beast from within 

Deceit and betrayal 
all part of the game 
it's something we're taught 
and how we behave 

Killing your brothers 
for one moment of joy 
quickly forgotten 
cast aside like a toy 

The dance becomes deadly 
and everything hurts 
the stakes become higher 
and soon you will burn 

Lay down with dogs 
and you'll get fleas 
tear apart 
those memories 
I never knew 
just what I would find 
until I left my love behind 
to rot... 
and bleed... 

Too soon all is lost 
for a love much too strong 
every action you take 
seems to be wrong 

The fire inside you 
sears to the core 
how much can you take 
and still you seek more 

Love consumes all 
in it's fiery grip 
tearing your soul up 
it strikes out as a whip 

Lashing your feelings 
and all that you are 
trampling hope 
and ripping your heart 

'till you're gone...
