How long must we dance around this bed of nails
Caught in this twisted choreography
Sealed with a bitter kiss and a mouthful of hemlock
'Neath the grace of your body lies the rot of a love forgotten
As hell burns in you
I'll turn my cheek
Sink your teeth into my flesh again
To drain my blood
Beholden to your lust and pain
I would rather scratch out my eyes than see what you've become
Loosen your lips to omit your botched attempt at words
Insincerity, the only thing leaking from your mouth
Empty the contents of your heart onto the floor
So that I can see what you're really made of
A heart offered as penance turns cold
Around and around in this waltz of depravity
Sinking deeper into this nightmare that I cannot escape
Trapped by her cold, her cold and deadly embrace
Your intentions are yet still intentions
Merely empty words. False of tongue
As you cast these caustic caresses
Absorbing every source of attention
I've given so much for the taking
Your callous need to be in control
Walking this tightrope of sorrow
While I nurture my empty soul
Veiled in your shadow
I would rather scratch out my eyes than see what you've become
Loosen your lips to omit your botched attempt at words
Insincerity, the only thing leaking from your mouth
Empty the contents of your heart onto the floor
So that I can see what you're really made of
A heart offered as penance turns cold
Around and around in this waltz of depravity
