The tantalizing way you brush my hair away 
and tease my eager lips with your familiar but foreign foreplay
The lingering of the warmth I've waited so long to feel 
Is so suddenly explosive I should've known it wasn't real

The way you play your word games and mind tricks has me exposing my every weakness 

Leaving me hopeless and numb
Faithful to none
You can't break the girl
That is on the run 
Playing cat and mouse
With the burning sun
It's still a game to you
But I've already won

My fingertips feel it, my mind photographs it, I try and grasp it, but know I can't have it 

 So I'll live this life in a lucid dream
Because I am the ruler and I am the queen
And I will out sing all the songs you will read
To a deaf ear and a broken wing 
You live now as a fond memory
Forgive my beliefs and silence my screams
Weve finally moved on... or so it seems
