Would you like to sit and talk to me

about the way things change so

suddenly

when your senses come and the feeling goes?

can you remember feeling much too close?



Stop your hands from shaking

Look at me

Are your senses racing endlessly

tracing

past impressions? So were mine

Have you ever been used

or will this be the first time?



It's come so clear to me

Light fuse and get away

No gain, no pain

It's a fatal game

and the true lose everything



I can see

what trust and loyalty have done for me

falling miles from the mark

with a thirst for revenge

and a dangerous heart



I've tried to wash from memory

feelings of betrayal and the incidents

that plague me since I lost my sense

of innocence



A history of changes now I'm loving

now I'm losing keeps me constantly

in fear of hearing "I can't see where

this is going"



You lie alone with the memory

feeling the ceiling and walls closing

in on

Your Conscience -- my ally

the guilt -- your affliction

from preying on praise as you fed

an attention addiction



Someone told me

Light fuse and get away

No gain, no pain

and when it's lust to dust you can

crawl from the wreckage



I can see

what trust and loyalty have done for me

lying bleeding in the dark

with a thirst for revenge

and a dangerous heart



It's come so clear to me

Light fuse and get away

No gain, no pain

It's a fatal game

and the true lose everything

I can see

what trust and loyalty have done for me

falling miles from the mark

with a thirst for revenge

and a dangerous heart
