It comes as no surprise
Your face filled with lies
Hovers all around me in this room.
Clouds hung with my dismay
A hot bed where we lay
Your every kiss tasting like a tomb.
If time becomes a judge,
If my body holds a grudge
It's just because i needed sanctuary.
Your skin under my nails
My curiosity that failed
To save myself for something that i need.
I don't wanna bleed
Or bruise up black and blue.
Do i deserve these things
All for wanting you ?
Like some virgin with her cloth
I play the goddess coming through
Now i play the parting slave
All for wanting you.
We do things 'cause we must
The law of love and lust
Comes together just like oil on flame.
I looked into your eyes,
You saw me naked for a while,
How d'you like it in my little nest ?
Who was really using who ?
In here the scent of you
Stains the sheets with memory and lust.
When i get back on the street
Tell everybody that i meet
Maybe these aren't scars, they're only rust.
I don't wanna bleed
Or bruise up black and blue
Do i deserve these things
All for wanting you ?
Like some virgin with her cloth
I play the goddess coming through
Now i play the parting slave
All for wanting you.
