lyrics

Here I am once again
putting my hand right into the mouth of a lion
here I am tempting fate and giving in
Here I am leaving myself wide open
to suggestion and to temptation
here I am pretending maybe you've changed
But like a church opens it's doors
you invite me in and the ceremony begins
This ritual we've performed time and time again
Like a church opens it's doors
you invite me in and we pretend we'll be forgiven for our sins
we say our prayers and sing our hymns into each other's skin

It's always starts out the same
you get to drinking and thinking about how good I can be at this game
knight takes pawn, checkmate
and it's such a shame that like a fool I come running
coz' you know I love to hear you scream my name
angels fall
like a church opens it's doors
the lion opens up it's jaws
and like a wine
I am poured
into your mouth again

I just can't be around you anymore
I'm not even sure what it is about you that leaves me wanting more
but I know I'm powerless to do anything about it
that look in your eye, it wraps around me like a vine
and that's why I can't be around you anymore

You're blowing up my phone
trying to act like we're friends but we both know exactly what we're here for
knight takes pawn, checkmate
and though I don't really like you
I can't stop myself from unwrapping your packaging coz' it's so beautiful
angels fall
like a church opens it's doors
the lion opens up it's jaws
and like a drunk
I fall into your arms again

Here I am
standing on your back porch
I know you unlocked the door and you're just waiting for me
to come on upstairs and break you in
Here I am
coming to the realization that no matter what you do
you could never satisfy me
Here I am
walking away
