Do You Love Me - My Ruin

i found him on a night of fire and noise

wild bells rang in a wild sky

i knew from that moment on

i’d love him till the day that i died

and i kissed away a thousand tears

my lady of the various sorrows

some begged

some borrowed

some stolen

some kept safe for tomorrow

on an endless night

silver star spangled

the bells from the chapel went jingle jangle

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me like i love you?

he was given to me to put things right

and i stacked all my accomplishments beside him

still i seemed so obselete and small

i found god and all his devils inside him

in my bed he cast the blizzard out

a mock sun blazed upon his head

so completely filled with light he was

his shadow fanged and hairy and mad

our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled

and the bells from the chapel went jingle jangle

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me like i love you?

he had a heartful of love and devotion

he had a mindful of tyranny and terror

well i try

i do

i really try

but i just err baby

i do

i error

so come find me my darling one

i’m down to the grounds

the very dregs

ah here he comes

blocking the sun

blood running down the inside of his legs

the moon in the sky is battered and mangled

and the bells from the chapel go jingle jangle

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me like i love you?

all things move toward their end

i knew before i met him that I would lose him

i swear i made every effort to be good to him

i made every effort not to abuse him

tattoos from his wrists to his ankles

and the bells from the chapel go jingle jangle

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me?

do you love me like i love you?
