about

Inspired by the Movie/Novel "Of Human Bondage" by W. Somerset Maugham.

lyrics

In the city of false beauty,
the weather makes no difference to me.
I’d be happy with my bones buried next to yours
in the city by the sea.

I’ve seen you from the window looking down
while I just wait by the moon.
I feel beaten down, my heart on the ground.
I just want to feel a little alive.

I can see that smile, and that look in your eye
could ever be more than the casual kind,
Well no.

Cause’ I just saw you for the very first time
With eyes like a devil at the heart of a crime;
Tongue like a snake and lips like a tomb,
You’ve sunk your claws in
and left me here with a wound.

You’re just like your heart: Cold as stone.
You’d rather wait for him than let me wait for you.
I hope you die alone,
and I hope he breaks your heart.

Cause’ I just saw you for the very first time
With eyes like a devil at the heart of a crime;
Tongue like a snake and lips like a tomb,
You’ve sunk your claws in
And left me here with a wound.

I’ve seen you like a ghost on the wall;
A dream, a travesty, a never would be fantasy.
And all you say is, “I don’t mind.
I don’t mind now! No, I don’t mind, now, no no!”

Whoaohohoh.

And are you alright? I worry sometimes.
Are you dressed up to take my life?
