Lust is a poison that taints the soul darker Once you leap into the sea it will swallow, swallow it all All of you gone in the deep waves of despair and hopelessness You are the statue of dignity until the moonlight burns a hole, well it stings All of the flowers plucked so vigorously from the stem of gentleness Donβt be the one who backs down Donβt be the one who returns empty-handed You are just one in a million One in the everspinning madness of passionate eternity Turning around, spun by the momentum of regret Objection caught in a breath, I do not want to hurt you Nor do you want to be here with me tonight Cushions so soft against bruised up skin, scars on scars We sway to the melody of stirred up surfaces God might look down on us lost animals Foolishly licking the wrong wounds Creatures of the night, begone now Let the soul rest, return the body where it belongs Lust is a poison that makes the world go mad And I succumb to the weight of guilt to become free once again.
