It's the danger that draws them near
It's the blood that keeps them here
I feel it flowing through your veins
Bringing a blush to your lovely face
Can you feel me in your neck
Creeping into your head?

Blurring the lines of life and fantasy
Of what was real before me
Maybe it's not what I say that makes you mine
It's the smile that runs sparks through your spine

Or the eyes slow and warm
Sinking into yours 
Makes you feel like a ghost
For a moment free of flaws
The very thing I want the most
Or perhaps you're nothing at all

You can't predict me
Can't place me
Can't see into me
Can't be free of me
I am everywhere
Like smoke in a dim room
Lulling you anywhere
A dream made just for you

Take the bet and toss the dice
I'll always win with these snake eyes
And all the cards played oh so right
I'll take the chips before your eyes

Are you scared? You're breathing so hard
But you can't turn back you've come too far
Your heart is beating so very fast
But you're finally here at last
Fingers like feathers grace your skin
Leaving trails of fire from beginning to end

Too much to take at once
A lot of work for a bit of fun
Hands moving to and fro
Drawing warmth from deep below
Meeting piercing eyes
So blue and deep as a mine
Drinking the heat as you drown
In a sea of sapphire pulling you down

Skin melds together into soft red velvet
Froze your lips so I know you felt it
More than two bodies we are two souls
Spinning through the stars hot as coals
Fall into my atmosphere
And find me here

Time doesn't know how to get in
It will wait for us until the end
The deeper you get the more you see
Everything is strange inside of me
Nothing is as it seems
Intoxication sinking into your dreams

Like a walk on thin air
I'll take you everywhere
Before you know it your feet are up 
You'll be swept away in this moment of us
You could surely get used to this
Wrapped in cool grace and burning mystery
It was only a moment of true bliss
Let's see if you can catch me
