Cold Cave - Love Comes Close Lyrics

Everything changed and will all change again
Sun sheds the light as the life sheds its skin
You kiss your wish to the heart of the world
Secrets you're safe with will not break the spell

Come on, lets go home
Buried in your womb
Sing a song of death
'Til there's none left

Love comes close
But chooses to spare me
Death comes close
But ceases to take me
I want to twist, the knife a bit deeper
To siphon the love from the hearts I believed in
Look outside, world is exploding
Stay inside, still never knowing
Taking cover, with each other
Sleeping off the century of hope

Every days changing will remain the same
Silhouettes shy as the rain rots the drain
Every days decay debases the dream
The ghosts that will haunt you are not what they seem
Still you say you're dead
To depravity
But that can't be true, 'cause I know you can hear me

Love comes close
But chooses to spare me
Death comes close
But ceases to take me
I want to twist, the knife a bit deeper
To siphon the love from the hearts I believed in
Look outside, world is exploding
Stay inside, still never knowing
Taking cover, with each other
Sleeping off a century of hope

Love comes close
But chooses to spare me
Death comes close
But ceases to take me
I want to twist, the knife a bit deeper
To siphon the love from the hearts I believed in
Look outside, world is exploding
Stay inside, still never knowing
Taking cover, with each other
Sleeping off a century of hope
