For Another

In this house of slaughter, you're crying for another.

I am dying for you, you're dying for another.

On a spree we hunt all the bazaars of the city.

I am buying for you, you're buying for another.

"I'll bring you Orion." — "I'll cocoon you in my womb."

I am lying for you, you're lying for another.

Incensed, I turn to smoke and slip in through your window,

you aren't home. I am trying for you, you're trying for another.

You are sleeping with the ocean, I've borne the rain.

I am crying for you, you're crying for another.

Hush, little baby, don't cry, I'll put a needle in your eye.

I'm lullabying for you, you're lullabying for another.

I am the lusterless moon, you're blue-green earth.

I am flying for you, you're flying for another.

Go to hell, Shannan, they'll char you in a pan of boiling oil.

But already I'm frying for you, you're frying for another.
