My Electric Lies

My electric lies
Don’t mean a damn thing
When all you breathe is pure seduction.
Shooting down your spine,
Thirteen hundred volts of pure desire.
Do you have any feeling left?

In this game of beautiful letdowns,
I’m losing every time
And my knees are getting scraped from sliding after you.

Your smile says everything’s okay,
Your eyes scream misconception,
And your touch whispers meet me on the moon.
I went to the moon and back,
Running on energy drinks and false images.
The dark side is far darker than you painted it to be.

Why do you flirt with danger
When I’m all the edge you’ll need?
I have to wonder
Just how sore this mistake has become.
I’m pushing you out of my mind,
Just like I pushed myself away,
Threw it all away.

But electricity strikes.
Paralyzed by bare skin on bare skin,
Hazel eyes hypnotize.

This is the best nightmare I’ve had in a while.

Heart racing, since when was it so hard to walk?
Long after the sparks, I can still feel you.
And I wonder what it would be like to…

But I won’t lose again.

I’ve been told you were no good,
But they’re all wrong.
Because you’re so addictive,
My brand of madness,
How could something so good be so bad?

I never really payed attention to history class,
But I guess time really does repeat itself.
I’m telling you now, I’m sick of this redundancy.
I keep reaching level 2 on your game
And I can’t seem to climb my way to the top.

Hey Juliet, lay down your roses,
Poison’s the only answer to his riddle.
The stars don’t shine as bright
With this bottle to my lips,
And this gun about to blow.

My electric lies
Have scorched me enough.

I’m letting go.
