Dead Love Lasts (Jack & Sally)
Nightmare Before Christmas - Jack & Sally



Darling; did I tell you?
That you make my splintering bones feel
As if they had sensitive shocked nerves still.

In the frightening night
Your stitches have the appearance
Of rusting wires impaling coarse ice skin.

If we wander
Through the lively graveyard
The night still doesn’t...

Dead Love
There across the wind rides my silly pride 
The very sound of my regret voice caresses my bones
Fate never assumes 
As bad luck so fumes 
I never wanna have you
Fantasies of me wrapped up in you are a juxtaposition
"I love you when you touch me...

Dead Love
I tried
The same reason I cried, I died inside.
Imagine the life I live without feeling, I feel the emptiness.
You filled me up, drew a smile in my heart though you never loved me, No we never loved each other, we just got complicated together.
The space...

Dead Love
Love, dead love
I missed you this summer.
Cold, so cold
Winter is my mother.
So dance Dirt Man
I'm so alone this summer
Flesh to trash
your death is a cancer..
I watched you flee as I crumbled
wounded by your grace
So leave me dare not whisper
No room for mistakes.

SO DANCE NOW MR....

Dead-Love!
Those said words 
hurt so much 
like swords 
sharp to the touch 

Complication set in 
all of this hard 
like swallowing straight gin 
falling down like a house of cards 

Why say them when u know 
it only makes it worse 
words still there 
now...

A Dead Love
I'm not the little girl you knew anymore.
She's dead and you're to blame.
I watched her soul fade slowly.
I don't even remember her name...
You haunted my past life,
drove my wrist upon that knife.
But the fear gave way to hate.
We can't go back now,
it's too late.
Do you...

A Dead Love
God knows what she wants!
She just sets my soul afire
To burn my inside!
Is it because my love died
On the way to her heart’s home!...

Dead Love
You ran swiftly with my mind.
Stolen a part of my soul.
Did you just hear what I said?
This love has been dead....

His 
love to
me is dead.
I scoff at it,
for it was nothing.
Had it any value,
I might place it as if it 
were a trinket inside my chest
of treasures. Many came before him.
Others will trail behind his empty steps.
Those footsteps – like a ghost’s – have all...

Dead love

So far that land in the past, memories of that forgotten life
Distance for the land of love, deleted imagination, sad priest
There is no marriage, an empty silently echoing church of love

Oh, God
Oh, God.

Dead love. This is the living vision of a dream – a...

Dead love, dead my love
Dead, I can’t give life to my love
I am dead, she leaves
She leaves, leaves, and smiling
She doesn't care about my feelings and life
                  ...
