Temptress

I took a walk to clear my head
I had to think
About the things you said
Misguided truth, hidden lies
To see what’s real
I look into your eyes

Untouched beauty,
An angel’s face
I know there’s something more
Beneath your lace
I see your shadow standing there
A devil lurks inside,
Fire everywhere

She’s a temptress,
A temptress woman
She wears a red dress,
For a temptress woman

I felt your passion inside me burn
I know it hurts
But I just never learn
I’ve got to leave, get away
Why don’t you want to try
And make me stay

It’s just a game, played for you
And I’do anything
You want me to
I try and tell you but you don’t see
I want these chains removed,
Why won’t you set me free

Her evil pulls you down, her stare
Will turn your head away
You’ll scream without a sound,
Waiting for the break of day

Why can’t you hurt me,
Then let me go
My love for you was gone
Some time ago
But you still hold on,
To what you need
And here I die for you,
You watch me bleed

I see the laughing,
Do you think I’m blind,
I know the faded mask
You hide behind
You hold the dagger,
I hold the key
Go ahead and use it now,
All you’ll do is set me free
