The Destroyers Video (MV)

She was listless, a temple of Dionysus
Kindred, we were lifted by the spirits
Pretzeled into pictures painted with acrylics
Two cynics looking for a difference in opinion
Our reflections had never sought perfection
A method for sanctifying past transgressions
A lesson in mediating malformed tensions
At present, we were nothing but an engine

I reckon you could have the best intentions
But mention you're no stranger to flexing tendons
Weapons point in each other's direction
Hellbent on preventing a connection
I'm sensing the deliverance of subjection
Lips pressed against the monument you've erected
Lace dress, a disguise your fate elected
Dead set on not revealing any affection

I'm tempted to bury my objections
In between the dunes and ruins of your nexus
Intoxicated by the fumes of this depression
No question I am doomed to surrender this repentance
I'm likened to a Lycan in the moonlight
You're heightened by a hybrid of hard fights
This madness reached its peak with you on a mattress
Severing the sadness with a momentary lapse of passion

I can't win when it comes to my damage
You can't lose when you have this advantage
We're savage the way we toss around our baggage
I'm average, doomed from the womb I ravaged
Please stand with me as we face this havoc
We can't sit down while this ballet happens
Dance with me while the world turns to ashes
And if the time is right we'll rise to a call of action

You're magic, your grace is how I've managed
I'm lavish and at times a little too erratic
We're bat shit, to think we couldn't have this
We can't quit while the best is yet to happen
I hope that you see what I see in you
And continue to not focus on that rear view
It's clear to me that you are a break-through
Hold onto me while we make our debut

I'll take you even if our paths get skewed
We'll get through despite the heavy deluge
'Cuz one day you might feel like you're brand new
And I do want to see you reach that view
We'll manage despite the deadliest of habits
We'll panic but still be stuck together like magnets
This madness will fall apart in fragments
Imagine our damage absent and replaced by balance
