Impulse

I want you, sedative and stimulant

Cancer and cure, filthy and pure

I taunt you, tooth and nail on the flesh

Your calm warmth belies the fire at your core

I tear your dress, stain your sheets

Bare your fangs, I sink my teeth

Into your neck, this caress so deadly

Sweet, a knife-edged night

Cuts into the morning

The light screams, silenced by steady hands

Dark intent, exposes our blinding descent

Into passion, a lightning flash captures

Expression, a canvas on fire

With madness, each movement an

Orchestral arrangement, we are left defenseless

To this symphony of lust and drunkenness

I want you, sedative and stimulant

To dress down to nothing tonight

To bring your shadows to my bedside

Let them dance with the fire

Find themselves in the hell I've made of heaven

The swell of lit-eyes screaming

For one more hit, nails dug deep into the flesh

Hungry thoughts whispering,

  "Scar me, I will never forget."
