Dirge (feat. Sophie Hunger)

Dirge - Erik Truffaz/Sophie Hunger

I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed

You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road

The stage was set the lights went out all around the old hotel

I hate myself for lovin' you and I'm glad the curtain fell

Hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressel

And the mercy that you showed to me who ever would have guessed

I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within

Hollow place martyrs weep and angels play with sin

There are those who worship loneliness I'm not one of them

In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem

The crystal ball up on the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet

I've paid the price of solitude but at least I'm out of debt

I can't recall one useful thing you ever did for me

'Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees

We stared into each other's eyes 'til one of us would break

No use to apologize what diff'rence does make

So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine

The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen

Lady Luck shines on me will tell you where I'm

I hate myself for lovin' you but I should get over that
