Somewhere to hide

She said "come along with me,
I´ve got offerings for you my sweet, sweet boy"
she promised warmth too, but I knew better
her words broke hot against my neck
and tasting the sweet, sweet numb of regret on my lips
I filled my pockets and closed the door
and I tasted all I´d left behind,
then shameful I crawled naked
Searching for somewhere to hide
And in the end she said it was memorable and comfortable
but funny, I wouldn´t have used those words
the secrecy and her bed, it was choking me with a knot in my gut
you have beautiful empty eyes, I´m sure of that much
Oh princess open your eyes and close your mouth
else all that spite you swallow willingly, it just might fall out
and I´ve seen you smile wide, I´ve seen you at your best
and it left me feeling sick inside and unimpressed
and I tasted all I´d left behind, but shameful I crawled naked
Searching for somewhere to hide
I´ve got offerings for you my sweet, sweet boy"
she promised warmth too, but I knew better
her words broke hot against my neck
and tasting the sweet, sweet numb of regret on my lips
I filled my pockets and closed the door
and I tasted all I´d left behind,
then shameful I crawled naked
Searching for somewhere to hide
And in the end she said it was memorable and comfortable
but funny, I wouldn´t have used those words
the secrecy and her bed, it was choking me with a knot in my gut
you have beautiful empty eyes, I´m sure of that much
Oh princess open your eyes and close your mouth
else all that spite you swallow willingly, it just might fall out
and I´ve seen you smile wide, I´ve seen you at your best
and it left me feeling sick inside and unimpressed
and I tasted all I´d left behind, but shameful I crawled naked
Searching for somewhere to hide
