I preach the Id, the Ego, on the stage so bright Adjust my glasses, hide the hunger from the light The perfect husband, the scholar, the saint they see But in the shadows, darling, you know the real me The elevator rises, the city falls away Welcome to the twilight, where we don't have to pray I didn't give you gold, I gave you silver cold A circle round your neck, a story to be told This isn't just a game, it's where my demons hide In this lonely tower, with you right by my side Submission is a mercy, control is my caress I love you in your ruin, I love you in distress My sanctuary, my sinner, my beautiful mistake I'll break you down to pieces, for both our spirits' sake Leather soft as whispers, whiskey burns the throat We're drifting in the deep end, trying to stay afloat I don't need your body only, I need the mind within The fear, the tears, the trembling, the shivering of skin Time is frozen here, the clock forgets to tick You are the only cure, for a soul that's born this sick I didn't give you gold, I gave you silver cold A circle round your neck, a story to be told This isn't just a game, it's where my demons hide In this lonely tower, with you right by my side Don't look at the ring on my left hand It's just a shackle, a band of sand Look at the mark I left on you The only vow that is ever true Good, breathe deep, let the world collapse Safe in my arms, in these velvet traps Kneel down Look up You are mine Only mine
