Criminal
Was it all a game?
You led me on, and now I love you
Oh, your ego has so many names
Bluest of blue
Your oceans are calming in the fires
That's burning because of you
But nothing moves
We all have ghosts in our closets
Where we hide all our corpses
And we pray for redemption from the past
You've got a trunk in the cellar
With yellowed teeth and black hair
And skeletons in every state you've been
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
How do I escape the spell
That you cast so well?
You're not helpless
You're not a poet
You're a goddamn selfish human being
You don't act for the devil
So don't blame him for your transgressions and upbringing
I'm tired of your lies
Your disguise was good
But all good things are headed for a grave ending
Your velvet words are so misleading
Wrapped up in layers of gauze to keep from seeping
How many? How many were taken by your charm?
Fresh young things- free for the first time-
But not for long
We're guilty of doors that we brick up
And walls that we build up
To keep us safe from deceptions of love
You're building rooms with no windows
And tombs with hidden peep holes
Getting your kicks from watching me kick in the walls
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
How do I escape your spell that you cast so well?
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
How do I escape your spell that you cast so well?
You led me on, and now I love you
Oh, your ego has so many names
Bluest of blue
Your oceans are calming in the fires
That's burning because of you
But nothing moves
We all have ghosts in our closets
Where we hide all our corpses
And we pray for redemption from the past
You've got a trunk in the cellar
With yellowed teeth and black hair
And skeletons in every state you've been
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
How do I escape the spell
That you cast so well?
You're not helpless
You're not a poet
You're a goddamn selfish human being
You don't act for the devil
So don't blame him for your transgressions and upbringing
I'm tired of your lies
Your disguise was good
But all good things are headed for a grave ending
Your velvet words are so misleading
Wrapped up in layers of gauze to keep from seeping
How many? How many were taken by your charm?
Fresh young things- free for the first time-
But not for long
We're guilty of doors that we brick up
And walls that we build up
To keep us safe from deceptions of love
You're building rooms with no windows
And tombs with hidden peep holes
Getting your kicks from watching me kick in the walls
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
How do I escape your spell that you cast so well?
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
What you do to me is criminal
The way you touch my skin is unforgivable
How do I escape your spell that you cast so well?
