If I Were You
Seduction,
breathes an intrusion on your neck
Reluctant,
You inhale it and you're sick
The toxic perfume breaks your will
A simple touch and you are still
and all the trust that you have built
is swept away...
But you can't help falling
No, you can't help falling
Unconscious.
Ignore the voices and relax
There's pleasure
Feel it oozing down you're back
Sweating guilt and breathing pants
of why you shouldn't, why you cant
Be doing what you're doing
Where you used to lay
Chorus:
The funny thing about love
is you always think it's right there waiting for you
Until it's gone away
If I were you
So you disappeared that day,
I understand
Sometimes you just have to get away.
But when she asks you where you've been
you weigh yourself against your sins
and bite your tongue as you breathe in
Before you say...
Chorus
But seduction doesn't wait
It's so brutal
The angel says that she might listen
The devil's laughter is incessant
The angel says that she might listen
The devil's laughter is incessant
The whisper of the dream that was
Has burst aflame with your love
Why chase it down anyway?
It's burned out, erased, forgotten.
You heard exactly what she had to say
Loser, coward
You selfish bastard...
Maybe, maybe the truth will set you free
And maybe, maybe she'll understand maybe...
Chorus
until it's gone away
and dying overlooked
But seduction doesn't wait
If I were you.
