Lyrics

For You

I'm a ragged flag in a hurricane for you
I'm a jagged stone on Nirvana's path for you
I'm a tender throat for the axeman's oath
I'm the Might Have Been that haunts us both
I'm all these things because I'm nothing much to you

I'm Aphrodite's hunchback fool for you
I'm the maniac that plays it cool for you
I'm the perfect fruit rotting on the vine
I'm the fallen priest drunk on wine
I'm a second glance and I'm nothing more to you

and still I long for you
still I hunt for you
still I bleed for you
still I stand for you

I'm the rusting lock on the ivory gate for you
I'm the antidote that arrives too late for you
I'm the junkie's vow of "not this time"
the reminder of your perfect crime
I'm the nothing in Nothing Left to you

I'm the fading stain in beauty's bed for you
the sophisticate who is giving head for you
I'm the blood that smears the Virgin's palms
the pilgrim who desecrates the psalms
I am multitudes but I'm not enough for you

and still I long for you
still I hunt for you
still I bleed for you
still I stand for you
still i burn for you
still I reach for you
still I kneel for you
still i fall for you

I'm the honest man lying to himself for you...
