You overwhelm me, I'm a slave to your influence,
your warm embrace, that of a python...wrapped around more than just a grip
The funny thing is you never said you loved me...the cards you laid before me, royal flush,
made with a hand full of jokers, I fell hard for your games, weighted dice, snake eyes and all
I bluffed my way through, went all in...
holding nothing, not even a lonely pair
Hollow promises, I'd walk bare footed through hell, just to prove my gratitude...
how sad was that, so blinded by wanting somewhere i felt, I belonged
so stubborn & headstrong, so intoxicated by broken promises, empty, like your silences...
I held your hand as you stuck the knife in,
I locked your eyes and I still couldn't let go
even as the tears cleansed my eyes
and I heard your intention, I heard the devil, right before me...warm embrace, heat of embers, smell of brimstone, fire melting skin off my sold soul...
Even as you choked me with vemon words,
I still refused to leave that toxicity...I felt home,
I felt home, in the hallucinating vapours,
rolling off your tongue...
and you knew, you always knew...
