Trying to keep numb
By words soft and sweet
Thought I was in control but I'm not
Fact:
I'm swept off my feet
I feel temptation creeping
I don't know how to make it stop
This is what I deserve
Heart spinning like a top
I am tired of fighting the feelings
The truth in my gut
Face not the easiest to read
My written words betray what's shut
Eating my cold composure
Barriers in my mind
Any second will be consumed
Too much love declined
My confused body might collapse and cave
Toxic with desire
Skies blue through foolish eyes
Underneath lay brimstone and fire
Our souls made to come together
Rip apart as we tragically fall
Loving is beautiful but I'd rather
Escape pain and feel nothing at all

Trying to keep numb
By words soft and sweet

I feel temptation creeping
I don't know how to make it stop
This is what I deserve
Heart spinning like a top
I am tired of fighting the feelings
The truth in my gut
Face not the easiest to read
My written words betray what's shut
Eating my cold composure
Barriers in my mind
Any second will be consumed
Too much love declined
My confused body might collapse and cave
Toxic with desire
Skies blue through foolish eyes
Underneath lay brimstone and fire
Our souls made to come together
Rip apart as we tragically fall
Loving is beautiful but I'd rather
Escape pain and feel nothing at all
