Bittersweet

Lullabies are sung from a venomous tongue
Gentle hands reach out but they cut to the bone
Emerald eyes blink and tear me in two
As your cunning smile stirs a feeling.

Fear and joy at the peak, now they drag me along
With you near I'm weak though I know that I'm strong
Tragic passion and need, I get so carried away
Strength is cut with ease with your pleasures.

I have bowed to sacrifice
But I will not break in the rapture
And time has ceased to be contrite
Show me your face and let the dissonance ignite
My bittersweet delight!

You're a ticking bomb and I welcome the roar
Honeyed lips explode, then I'm off to restore
Warm, breezy nights feeding my hurricane
Deep down within, You're the Arctic.

You're life, you're death and everything in between
I'm blind and deaf to your sins and your schemes
As an Angel of guilt, you turn it all in you favor
Next time I won't be fooled!

I have bowed to sacrifice
But I will not break in the rapture
And time has ceased to be contrite
Showed your face and let the dissonance.

See my inner sanctity
How you long to feed every weakness
Be my only blasphemy
Show me you face and let the dissonance ignite
My bittersweet delight!

I have bowed to sacrifice
But I will not break in the rapture
And time has ceased to be contrite
Showed your face and let the dissonance.

See my inner sanctity
How you long to feed every weakness
Be my only blasphemy
Show me you face and let the dissonance ignite!
