Dim the Lights

from It's Hard to Speak Through Chattering Teeth by The Will to Survive

lyrics

Dim the lights so I can hide
And still see your face, I drop your clothes like they're weights
I hold you close and lie through my teeth, but it feels so true
I thought that I was playing you, but my heart was playing me

(Oh my God)
Stay with me tonight and we'll figure out things in the morning
I love you now, though I didn't start out
With the honest intentions that I've got now

You are just like a dream to me
With your hair all amuck and your eyes just waking up
Lock me in your stormy eyed stare and I just fall apart
But that's exactly what I've always wanted

(Oh my God)
Stay with me tonight and we'll figure out things in the morning
I love you now, though I didn't start out
With the honest intentions that I've got now
x2

Up the stairs I carry you and with whispered words
I fill your head with lies
Through the frame and down the hall, into the room
Where your innocence dies x2

I swore I would not, but I'm not the man I thought
And though you played the angel, I saw the lust in your eyes
You led me to lead you where you wanted this to go
And now I think you were more the devil than I

Up the stairs I carry you and with whispered words
I fill your head with lies
Through the frame and down the hall, into the room
Where your innocence died
