When you search in me all the things that fall short
And wipe clean my jester's tear
You'll find joy, tightly wound in torment
Like a stillborn sheathed in grief
We'd be at odds forever
Too much ground to weather
Don't fall in love, when you refuse to see
Don't set yourself up to bear the misfortune of me
Misfortune of me!
When you find in me all that once held passion
And sift through the damaged goods
You'll choke on heavy air, blinded in the darkness
My contagion in your veins
We'd be at odds, forever
Too much ground to weather
Don't fall in love, when you refuse to see
Don't set yourself up to bear the misfortune of me
Toxicity!
Don't fall in love when you refuse to see
Don't set yourself up to bear the misfortune of me
This thing we have will be your albatross
Miles and miles burdened by my cross
Don't fall in love when you refuse to see
Don't set yourself up to bear the misfortune of me
Split and fractured, devoid of rapture
So far removed and destitute
Pain and heartache, desperation
Hate and spite and alienation
Woe, despair and bleak negation
Misery and cross-examination
Don't fall in love when you refuse to see
Don't set yourself up to bear the misfortune of me
