"Brutal Romance" lyrics - BROOKE FRASER
All shapes and colours
Rolled in stained and ageing hands
Sculpted explosions
Histories unfold
Our Jackson Pollocked earth turns
A silent witness
Lonely asylumed
Poets bequeath best attempts
Romanticising
The brutality
Of the ages and of us
Avarice and lust
[Chorus:]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow dance
I can't remember before
Warm in the veins
Lead in the core
Brutal romance
You're dripping with gold
Mine is more interior
Yours is sinking you
Men at attention
Devouring a drowning fleet
Epaulettes of charm
[Chorus:]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
In a spinning slow dance
I can't remember before
Breath in the lungs
Blood on the door
Brutal romance
[Bridge:]
And I want to sing over them and into them what can't be unsung
And I want to sing over you and into you what can't be unsung
[Chorus:]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow dance
I can't remember before
Washing of wounds
Won inner wars
Brutal romance
