Brooke Fraser - Brutal Romance lyrics
[Brooke Fraser - Brutal Romance lyrics]
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
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
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
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
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
