Game Of Hearts
Remember when we were so much younger
When we fed such a lush and cunning hunger
That bared it fangs under such dire situations
We consumed our world's lies and fascinations
Shall we play that youthful little game again?
Let the rules be broken until one of us lies maimed
Under the watchful gaze of the others star crossed eyes
Let us both fall to the truth and play with fateful ties
Sometimes I stare into such darkened and tormented seas
That spill down reddened cheeks as they vehemently refuse me
And I know that maybe all these games are turning vile
But we never care for the bruises as long as emotions are riled
Let me choose the setting for the next scene we perform
And maybe I'll let you take me through a little reform
Or maybe I'll stand as the main character and win the prize
Make you suffer like we always do with these silent cries
So I'll sleep beside you and feel every beat of your heart
While we plot the best way we can tear us apart
But for once can't we just enjoy a night of peaceful bliss
Because I can't deny the attraction of the mornings bloody kiss
