Lyrics
Every love song starts like this
The betrayal and the kiss
So you love that feeling
Oh, it taught you to distrust
First yourself then everyone else
Now you fear both sides of the gun
If you call opinion truth
And somebody questions you
You can call them devil
And your violence is baptized
Every evil justified
Till you're giving thanks for the blood
So, blessed are the heretics
And all their pain to prove
That love comes out of you like abuse
There's an explanation, oh
But there is no excuse
When love comes out of you like abuse
So you say you made the world
Every boy and every girl
And you left them tangled
When they sorted themselves out
Of your love and garden grounds
Oh, you cried a biblical flood
And you held their heads beneath the waves
So they could be made new
Because love comes out of you like abuse
There's an explanation, oh
But there is no excuse
When love comes out of you like abuse
When you demand perfection of skill with a knife
'cause the offense of being born requires sacrifice
If you made all from nothing, you need someone to blame
The very rocks will cry out a name above all names
And your ex-saints will proclaim that they were framed
'cause you made them with a hunger
In a garden of bad fruit
Because love comes out of you like abuse
Judgement, sin, and violence
Was the best that you could do
Because love comes out of you like abuse
Now when you say you love me
Oh, it sounds like an excuse
For when love comes out of you like abuse
You throw your arms around me
And it just feels like a noose
Because love comes out of you like abuse
Yeah there's an explanation, oh
But there's no excuse
For when love comes out of you like abuse
Love comes out of you like abuse
