Deception
Who dreams of lust?
Caught between heaven and hell.
Close enough to touch
But to far away to tell.
Trading glances of desire
That never should be seen
Trying hard to hide the fire
That keeps us in between.
Supreme deception
Building walls around our lies.
Hoping that they’re soundproof
And can drown out our sighs
But how can this be wrong
When there’s nothing being done
Something just as dangerous
As a loaded gun.
Just knowing what could happen
If something came of this
How could this turn out
For one shot at bliss
And then where would we be
Would I look into your eyes?
And see the reflection
Of someone you despise.
Could I do without you,
Could I make it on my own?
And would you even notice
If I left you alone?
I think I’m in too deep
But wanting to go deeper.
Never really thought
I’d consider you my keeper.
And would these feelings stop?
If I got all that I need.
Is it just the danger
On which my hunger feeds?
Caught between heaven and hell.
Close enough to touch
But to far away to tell.
Trading glances of desire
That never should be seen
Trying hard to hide the fire
That keeps us in between.
Supreme deception
Building walls around our lies.
Hoping that they’re soundproof
And can drown out our sighs
But how can this be wrong
When there’s nothing being done
Something just as dangerous
As a loaded gun.
Just knowing what could happen
If something came of this
How could this turn out
For one shot at bliss
And then where would we be
Would I look into your eyes?
And see the reflection
Of someone you despise.
Could I do without you,
Could I make it on my own?
And would you even notice
If I left you alone?
I think I’m in too deep
But wanting to go deeper.
Never really thought
I’d consider you my keeper.
And would these feelings stop?
If I got all that I need.
Is it just the danger
On which my hunger feeds?
