Twist the Knife

Twist the Knife:

It's a matter, every morning
I wake up to thoughts of you
In the shower; Driving to work
I'm consumed by a dark truth

That I want you; No, I need you
But you hold me at a distance
You're so close and yet so far
So detached and yet persistent

My friends all ask me; How can this be
Why allow hurt to continue
But they don't see what you're too me
My light in this shadowed venue

So you feed off my affections
And you're pulling me along
I'm so blinded and short sighted
That I can't see all the wrongs

So
Twist the knife a little deeper in my heart boy
Kiss me sweeter one more time and I am yours
No one delivers pain and pleasure like you can boy
So twist the knife a little deeper

It's a matter, every morning
I awake from dreams of you
Soft caresses, prolonged kisses
Skin of silk and nightly hues

I am haunted by the memory
I am left holding the ashes
So much flame and so much fire
Abandoned for my tears to douse them

But still
Twist the knife a little deeper in my heart boy
Kiss me sweeter one more time and I am yours
No one delivers pain and pleasure like you can boy
So twist the knife a little deeper

I said
Twist the knife a little deeper in my heart boy
Hold me tighter threw this night and make me yours
No one delivers pain and pleasure like you can boy
So twist the knife a little deeper

Twist the knife a little deeper

Deliver me this pain and pleasure

Hold me, burn me make me savour

So you feed off my attentions
And you're stringing me along
I'm so blinded, stranded, tattered
That I can't see right from wrong

Yet you
Twist the knife a little deeper in my heart boy
Kiss me sweeter and I find I can't say no
No one delivers pain and pleasure like you can boy
So twist the knife a little deeper
