never a cheat,
never a tease
are you sure about that?
I know some tricks,
that will certainly drive you mad

slowly dragging and drowning
and I can’t get enough
the warning signs,
now flashing above

hush babe don’t make a sound
now you're getting too close
to my mind,
to my soul

ice cold fingers wrapped around
and caged up my heart
now surely,
it will never break apart

raw and unplugged
an ephemeral flame
of love,
pleasure,
and pain

that fragile flicker
of a lover’s game
still sends me shivers,
but it’ll never be the same
