Brutal Romance Lyrics - Brutal Romantic - Brooke Fraser

All shapes and colours 

Rolled and stained in aging hands 

Sculpted explosions 

Histories unfold 

Our Jackson Pollocked earth turns 

A silent witness 

Lonely as silent 

Poets bequeath best attempts 

Romanticising 

The brutality 

Of the ages and of us 

Avarice and lust 

Love and death, and death and love 

Brutal romance 

The silver thread, the sharpened knife 

A spinning slow-dance 

I can't remember before 

Warmth in the veins, lead in the core 

Brutal romance 

You're dripping with gold 

Mine is more interior 

Yours is sinking you 

Men at attention 

Devouring a drowning fleet 

Epaulettes of charm 

Love and death, and death and love 

Brutal romance 

A silver thread, a sharpened knife 

In a spinning slow-dance 

I can't remember before 

Breath in the lungs, blood on the door 

Brutal romance 

And I want to sing 

Over them and into them 

What can't be unsung 

And I want to sing 

Over you and into you 

What can't be unsung 

Love and death, and death and love 

Brutal romance 

A silver thread, a sharpened knife 

A spinning slow-dance 

I can't remember before 

Washing of wounds, won inner wars 

Brutal romance
