There's a walk in room,
A waiting room
Silence and lies flood the floor
It's that smile at the corner of your eyes
Hiding the innocence of your lips
I once adored the arrow in your heart
It once allowed a perfect start
To an ending beginning
It was all written in velvet
When you gave in
He gave you in
Walk in room
Leave your soul at the door
To commit some sin
And I walk in, room
On the floor, in the corners
of your eyes, darting
Like arrows and lies
I wonder just
who you're trying to fool
It's a shrug, an eclipsed smile
You're in bliss, on a high
In my sky and I'm screaming
Because this promise should last
In my heaven
It was our heaven
You scorned with black words
And cold hearts
And he would
Back you up
Drug you up
Pay to see my screams
And raise their applause
Ready to fuck us up
He reaches with claws
A neck to wring
To make my mind sing
Grab hold forever
"I dare ya"
