lyrics

carnal scarred the eyes
she moves to hypnotise
skin and skin on lies
drug and bone on thighs

she makes me self deform
removes herself from harm
she makes my body warm
how long must this go on?

We only whisper when saying goodnight
the voices linger but the flame's still burning bright
I thought I missed you
but I could not see the light
that shines behind her eyes

she takes me to her head
I've only ever taken her to my my bed
we'll just leave it all left unsaid
slept through thoughts, she led

she'll lead and leave again
she'll kiss and tell and then
left alone unlocked
I'll live and learn, unboxed

We only whisper when saying goodnight
the voices linger but the flame's still burning bright
I thought I missed you
but I could not see the light
that shines behind her eyes
