this tornado loves you.

my hair is scattered all over my face and my eyelids hang heavy from my sockets. no one is watching.

but this tornado loves you.

and when i sing you a song and play my strings you'll look up for a moment to see me. but the pictures on the walls fall and smash into things we can't recall. a thought could catch you but my spinning is much faster. so i tore your heart out and watched it disappear.

this tornado loves you.

in a blink of an eye i ran through this room, leaving you and leaving your lovers, all helpless on the floor. broken limbs and broken eyes, skin turned inside out. skin too small so i'll break you out, turn you round and spit you back out. and all the while, i'm whistling.

this tornado loves you.

and in the morning won't you come out from all your hiding? come out to meet me. i'll carve your name into the earth and leave all your scratches by the sea never to be found again. chances are i'll destroy you before you step out the door. loving you loving you, you send me spinning.

and spinning on i know you knew, i know you knew..

you knew this tornado loved you.
