Lyrics
I can not characterize
The misery you feel
When
Your heart
Begins to
Recognize That
All the truths it’s been told
Are nothing but
Calculated lies
Springing from
Bedtime stories
And riding into the
Sunset movies
To unrealistic images
Invading your sub consciousness
Mendacity malformed
So luminously and
Hypnotically charmed the sense
Out of me
Forcing me to conceive
An apple can taste like tangerine
And just like that,
Love had me
Every which way it wanted to
Surrounded by gullibility
Love played me
Tears didn’t come so easily
Leaving suggested certain insanity
And
Denial
Said
Wait
Give love a chance to
Explain
And yearning
Made every wrong
Appear okay
So I’m waiting…while
Love is beatin’ the shit outta me
I won’t even call the police
Cause I’m addicted
To L-O-V-E
Got me believing I can’t live without it
Can’t breathe without it
BE with-out- it
Somehow love has attached its self to
My destiny
Has claimed me
A mistress
Love’s become my affliction
And I can’t get rid of it
Once I took a tablespoon of lust
Went on hiatus and
let it serenade me
Into a incubus of non-compliance
Let it shield me until
Love had enough of being
On the side lines
Demanded I returned to be his
Concubine
I did
Reluctantly but
Faithfully
Now love is actin’ like
It’s afraid of losing me
Stalking the hell outta me
I can’t answer my phone
Or leave my home
Without love following me
Pleading for me to recognize
Its true plan
Its honest intention (my mouth says)
It’s too late
Seems I’ve become
Love’s addiction…
And I’m feelin’ sorry for love
Something deep within me
Won’t let me abandon love
The way love abandoned me
Strangely
I’m not sure if
I didn’t have love and it
Didn’t have me
Where either of us
Would be
(L-O-V-E)
