I woke to see my face today
In a way I made the mirror break
I glanced at my days to come
In a scar I dug their grave

So wake me when those days are done
With something worth working on
Wake me with a kind of love

All covered in fume and steam
A lizard grows in you and me
He’ll burst in where I end
He‘ll find the slit where you begin

So hold me tight and in our bond
We’ll squeeze the breath out of the thorn
And together we’ll be left alone

There’s a kind of love in your heart
As I picture you leaving it leaves a mark
On the rug

Once a harvester of love in need
You’re better off by leaving me
As seeds will grow and so will I
This time you should give in to fear

Still you hold me in a loved regard
Admiring the wounds you got
You hold me with a kind of love

As if I never hurt you, dear
So long you chose to believe
Tales turn true only if you want
I know it’s a shallow relief

So call me lover instead of love
And leave me lover by the dawn
Leave me with a kind of love

There’s a kind of love in your heart
As I picture you leaving it leaves a mark
On the rug
