Pericardium

Preadatory, carnal, I hunger, I seek, I thirst, I yearn for your honey and your poison.
Predatory, carnal, i hunger, i seek, i thirst, I long for your honey and your poison.

Your veins are hard, but i find a way through, your blood is not red but gold, your veins are hard, but i find a way through,
your blood is the colour of midnight, pouring

It's warm, thick, tastes like nectar upon my lips, i hunger for your honey and your poison, it's warm, thick, tastes like joy upon my lips, i hunger for your honey, for your poison upon my lips.

Beat, beat, beat goes the rhythm, pound, pound, pound goes the beat, it's all cosmic dances and fairy dust, beat, beat, beat  goes the rhythm, pound, pound, pound goes the beat, your blood is the colour of sackcloth and coal.

Sunlight and shadow, contraction, constriction, it's all cosmic dances and fairy dust, sunlight and shadow, contraction, constriction, it's all cosmic dances and angel dust.

Underneath the shade of a poplar tree, secrets told, secrets lost, secrets buried, underneath the leaves of a sycamore tree, secrets told, secrets lost, secrets buried.

I am seeking, I am searching, your soul upon my lips, I thirst for your honey and your poison, I am watching I am waiting, your blood upon my lips, I hunger for your honey and your poison.

Underneath the shade of a poplar tree, secrets offered, secrets uttered, secrets slain, underneath,the leaves of a blossom tree, secrets told, secrets lost, secrets buried.

I am seeking I am searching, your blood upon my lips, I hunger for your honey and your poison, I am watching, I am waiting, your soul upon my lips, i hunger for your passion and your poison.
