Algophobic Masochist

Hurt masquerading as anger
We both feel the fear and danger
The warning alarms are screaming
Too far gone to heed them
Hearts demanding the brain shut up
It's evident that neither of us gives a fuck
About the ruins that lie in wait
Playing with fire; testing fate
Every kiss nearing the sadness
Every fight compounding the madness
Neither of us want to lose ourselves to other
Neither of us can refuse the energy between us
Fearing the pain and reveling in it:
Algophobic Masochists
