My Only Love

My only love
 Did you know what I'd become?
 That I'd be coming?
 How all your reasons rung
 True like a prophecy
 Cruel like a curse
 And I know it's not your doing
 But you heard the toxin first
 My only love
 Last night I crawled into a church
 In pitch dark I said, "I want to believe"
 And I clawed my way off of perches
 Say, Lord,
 If you're really here
 Please tell me
 Is it your will that I can never again
 Touch my only love?
 Never
 Never
 And then I
 Die on my only love
 My only love
 Why?
 Well
 Testemony rungs
 From your mouth
 Like a cobra from a basket
 And you held a darker question there
 You were too afraid
 To ask it
 Well, ask it!
 Ask it!
 I know where the answer lies
 In the dust of bones and mountains
 In the malevolent of time
 From your birth day
 To your deathbed
 Don't forget to tell your child
 Love is rendered
 Temporary
 And forever is a lie
 Oh, my only love
 My only love
 Why?
 Why?
 Why?
 Why?
 Why?
