Love Is a First

I've been interpreted and shrunk I've been as touchless as a drunk This is as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse This is as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Love is a curse That he who would own it deserves Love is a curse You get what you give not deserve I know, I know this is all just first blurts That he who would try to own it deserves it And I know it's got nothing to do with "deserves it" It's just that you don't just blurt "love is a curse" Love is a curse, love is a curse You don't just blurt "love is a curse" Though I've been too weak to escape And I don't have the strength to pluck a grape Though it's as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Though it's as bad as or worse, as bad as or worse Love is a first I've felt the dull fangs of the truth Love is a first I've heard the music they torture to Love is a first I saw Old Power enforced Love is a first I was more the Devil of Darkness' horse I drank the poison from the source And smoked that murder, fell on the floor And watched the near-death of your TV And dreamed its darkly nurtured dreams And drained my ocean of its worth Lke God's representatives on the earth Learned how to hurt and how not to hurt And the thing you taught me, what I learned? Love is a first Though it's as bad as or worse Love is a first As bad as or worse Love is a first As bad as or worse Love is a first As bad as or worse Love is a curse That he who would own it deserves Love is a first Though it occurs and occurs Love is a curse You get what you give not deserve Love is a first Love just occurs and occurs I drank the poison from the source And smoked that murder, fell on the floor And watched the near-death of your TV And dreamed its darkly nurtured dreams And drained my ocean of its worth Lke God's representatives on the earth Learned how to hurt and how not to hurt And the thing you taught me, what I learned? Love is a first
