lyrics

You, you're the only one that greets me
As I open up my eyes to meet the day
You, you always wear such a pompous smile
As the illusions in my world all fade away

To you, I am an instrument
Spreading inspiration as you please into my mind
You, you seem to overtake my dreams
And entrap me in your seductive reverie

And I beg and I plead and I kick and I scream
And I twist in my bones 'till I'm finally released
There's a lingering thirst
There's a hook in my heart
And it's pulling me back again

Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by

You, you're the one that taunts me
As you flicker and you dance inside my mind
You, you steal away the light of day
And send me whirling and cascading into my dreams

And I beg and I plead and I kick and I scream
And I twist in my bones 'till I'm finally released
There's a lingering thirst
There's a hook in my heart
And it's pulling me back again

Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by

You came and broke all the barriers down
And then you smother me 'till I drown
Still I find, in my mind, you open up my eyes

You give me passion, you give me pain
And the sensation it still remains
You hold the key, and now I see, you are a part of me

You, you cut me open
You look inside my heart and you pull out the truth

You, you're my companion
You'll always stay with me to soothe my tired soul

You, you'll never leave me
You'll always linger like a ghost inside my mind

And I, I can't live without you
I am addicted to the clutches I am in

Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by

Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by
