Your Love Makes Everything Worse

Raging waves come crashing in
As the rain thrashes down
The lighthouse keeper should have learned to swim
Maybe today's the day we all drown
The keeper looks out and prays for calm
But this tempest shows no reprieve
An alluring beauty to the savage seas
Chaos and rage, a god-sized release
Your heart's harder than a diamond and shines in the dirt
Every other day I'm dead to you
Your love makes everything worse
When your glass is half empty
then smashed on the floor
There's a brief crack of light
Before another downpour
Sacrificing self-esteem
Lest the crops may wither
Dejected, unseen, a broken machine
A body floating down the river
Your heart's harder than a diamond and shines in the dirt
Every other day I'm dead to you
Your love makes everything worse
With a kiss that scars like a razor, and a passion cursed
Every other day I'm dead to you
Your love makes everything worse
