Flavors

Verse 1: I haven't taken a bite of love in many a month/ But I still taste your flavor on my tongue/ It burns away like citric acid/ With the sweet sting of empty champagne glasses/ You chose the colors and the smells and the sounds/ But that taste is still alive and follows me now.

Chorus: A heavy burden, a better end/ On my back at night, my mind hates to live it again/ I always loved you,but you made me forget/ With every rip you tore and stain you spat into my dress/ And if you loved,you never showed it well/ From honeymoon into a living hell/ If I ever had to decide/ It's better off for the world that they let you die.

Verse 2: I lost you when you were drowned in your own cynical flood/ And now it's left on my hands the smell of vinegar and blood/ The bitter wine's the taste of all your bitter words/ And I won't shed a tear as I slip on my blackest skirt/ I let out allmy salted sorrow with every mark left on my skin/ So now I bid farewell to you and all your sweetest sins.

Chorus: A heavy burden, a better end/ On my back at night, my mind hates to live it again/ I always loved you,but you made me forget/ With every rip you tore and stain you spat into my dress/ And if you loved,you never showed it well/ From honeymoon into a living hell/ If I ever had to decide/ It's better off for the world that they let you die.

Verse 3: I never told the tang of lies/ I just bottled the poison inside/ Never spoke, never told a damn soul/ Never have to now that you're a ghost/ Beneath my veil I see the people all crying for you/ They don't know all the things I used to suffer through/ They kiss that casket like you were a saint/ I keep my silence,let my respect fade away/ Don't think that I don't love you anymore/ I'm just relieved that I don't have to taste the flavor I once choked for.

Chorus: A heavy burden, a better end/ On my back at night, my mind hates to live it again/ I always loved you,but you made me forget/ With every rip you tore and stain you spat into my dress/ And if you loved,you never showed it well/ From honeymoon into a living hell/ If I ever had to decide/ It's better off for the world that they let you die.

Chorus: A heavy burden, a better end/ On my back at night, my mind hates to live it again/ I always loved you,but you made me forget/ With every rip you tore and stain you spat into my dress/ And if you loved,you never showed it well/ From honeymoon into a living hell/ If I ever had to decide/ It's better off for the world that they let you die.
