Spell of Lies
Failure in Which We Experience
How many pages do you need to turn
How many candles do I need to burn
The wick is getting smaller as I get older.
She tries to seduce me,
Brings me closer in as she hinges
Onto me as my wife stands there
Seeing everything it’s just not
Right.
How many pages do you need to turn
How many candles do I need to burn
The wick is getting smaller as I get older.
Innocence tries to flow deep within
Until she soaks me completely infecting
My mind taking what’s mine.
How many pages do you need to turn
How many candles do I need to burn
The wick is getting smaller as I get older.
She whispers my name keeping me trapped
In the darkness of her sorrow-
As I fall deeper into her spell of lies.
How many pages do you need to turn
How many candles do I need to burn
The wick is getting smaller as I get older.
