Give All Your Love

With hands of flame you carve my name.
It's burning me inside.
A velvet touch that feels too much.
A meaning stored and dried.
An icy hold within your eyes.
Entrapped by your desire.
You can't cut through my barbed wire.

Give all your love,
it's not enough.
(if you're gonna hurt me)
Give all your love,
it's not enough.
(if you're gonna hurt that much)

A silken voice with silken breath.
To tempt me from within.
An act of peace without a priest.
Confess the actors sin.
Another kiss from burning lips.
A frozen shard of fire.
You can't cut through my barbed wire.

Give all your love,
it's not enough.
(if you're gonna hurt me)
Give all your love,
it's not enough.
(if you're gonna hurt me that much)

A token look the baited hook.
To sink is sometimes best.
The way you weep is front of me.
A beast without a breast.
The crystal dagger in your mouth.
The weapon of a liar.
You can't cut through my barbed wire.

Give all your love,
it's not enough.
(if you're gonna hurt me)
Give all your love,
it's not enough.
(if you're gonna kill me)
