Memories sharp as daggers Pierce into the flesh of today The suicide of love took away all that matters And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart With the venomous kiss you gave me, I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms, you saved me Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Nailed to the cross together As solitude begs us to stay Disappear with a lie forever And denounce the power of death over our souls And secret brings us in to start a war With the venomous kiss you gave me, I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms, you saved me Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Killing loneliness I'm killing loneliness With the venomous kiss you gave me, I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms, you saved me
