You Don't Belong Here

You don't belong here, Darling
Here inside my head
You should be gone now, Darling
I've long since forsaken your wiles

Began in a day
I should have, would have known
It began in a nighttime glance
Lights dimmed, across the room, I should have known

Began with a word
I fought back, should have known
It began in the center of your eye
Lights dimmed, standing by you, you should have known

You should have known
Leave me alone
I should have known

My Dearest E, You Have Been the Death of Me

Every day that you were saved a little more
I died a little more
And every time you were better
I was less and less alive
This disease, it kills us both
But you can be saved, and I am gone.

This poison drug to save you
Poisoned my heart
Don't ask me, I don't know

How could this happen, they cry, they cry
I second the thought as I die, I die
But it's not me, it's you they are keeping alive


Just because it doesn't kill you doesn't mean it makes you stronger
I am sickened all the more by my malignant thoughts
And tortured by the poison that saves you and kills me
