What arose between us
This deadly blaze we’re playing with
Sprung from our dormant spark
Dry leaves and excessive alcohol
Fuck! I can’t stay away from you
Not even if I wanted to
You’re here with me on every stage
And every scrap of floor we play
Oh, lead us not
Into temptation
But oh god I crave
This sensation
I’ve lived a life
Of deprivation
But this time I lack
The strength to abstain
God damn it!
With age has come no wisdom
‘Cause here I am again
Just like when I was younger
Wanting my cake and then
To hell with the consequences
This is my second chance
I overpowered you once
This time I’ll let you win
And now my hands are tied and I don’t know what to do
Except secretly write these words to you
This time it was I
Conducting the experiment
You either die
Or become the villain you hate
You all think I’m so honest — then how come I
Can never make eye contact? I fucking lie
Just to pass the time
I wonder if I’m
A sociopath has often crossed my mind
And now you’ve joined the ranks who look at me
With simpering, adoring puppy eyes
And all I see is another helpless fly
Tangled in my legs I will destroy
