about

Who was I? Who were you?

lyrics

In her private bedroom theater
In a room of smoke and mirrors
Dances the temptress puppeteer
Her every move pulls you nearer

And she climbs you like a serpent
As she wraps you with her words
She places your hand on her breast
And her nails into your neck

Just so you know, I am leaving
I can’t wake up but I’m not dreaming
I can feel this house is haunted
and can’t stay here another moment

In the gaslight masquerade
Her puppet strings are taught but frayed
As she draws you across the stage
And makes you question everything

We are two ghosts in the same play and nothing can be believed
She’s not liable anyway and has no memory
Your insecurity is her alibi
Her every move is a tease and every other word’s a lie

Oh how the moon would catch her eye
and bath her body in its light
Oh how I’d trade a thousand nights
to put my lips between her thighs

And lost in reverie, she always wore a disguise
And in every twist and tease was another hidden lie
Made it hard for me to see, blinded by her gaslight
Did she even ever love me? Or was that too another lie?

Just so you know, I am leaving
I can’t wake up but I’m not dreaming
I can feel this house is haunted
And I can’t stay here another moment
