Cellar Door - Vengeance Is Its Own Reward lyrics

At midnight, when the clock hands go their seperate ways We sit here all alone, and wait for daylight My lips dodge teardrops from her eyes Her moves invite me to stay longer Wistful words of love and lies The mood is set, silent and somber I wish I could remember your name And are you worth the price I'll pay? Let's be discreet, this is the beat of my heart Yelling "come and get me" Razor sharp, your fingernails trace violence on my back Should I pull the plug, and end this heart attack The room is locked, and double bolted Sirens in the distance cry The call for help casts guilty actors Begging for this lovers crime This bed, an altar, lights fill the sky Commanding silence and surrender Time measured in worthless pleadings Blood stained sheets will scream in your defense Bury my lies under rocks and layers of cement These hands will k** no longer baby, after i'm through with you Till your cries heal the wounds you gave I will send you to an early grave Blatantly challanging the shattered mirror 7 years bad luck, or 7 chances at this game of Russian Roulette The neighbors have gone to sleep, the town is quiet/ Let this gunshot ring like the conscience that held its peace Lost in your eyes, the color blue, makes me realize I'll never forget you The scent of your hair, like poison, a toxic perfume Jumpstarts my frail heart, it beats in breakdowns for you Why couldn't you have just stayed the same? My sprits dead, your soul is saved!
