Lyrics

Split me open at the core
Hungering for you once more

You know it’s only me behind the curtain
Trying to finesse this crude suggestion

A map that leads you nowhere
A diversion and a ploy
To trap a creature so fair
Dispense with playing coy for now

Dragged by the neck on the rope of desire
Tales spun for you from the mouth of a liar
You will let me forget

If only for this fleeting chance
A rare moment of relief

Allow me to pretend I’m not a vulture
Let me make believe I’m not a fake

Savoring the precious time before
you find me decidedly inferior
Oh, what are you but a face and form?
A blank page to fill with all I need

So once again, I permit you to bleed me
With all said and done, why don’t we leave discreetly
I’ve been dragged by the neck on the rope of desire
One last tale spun for you from the mouth of a liar
