Lyrics

I walk the line of insanity, psychosis. Chemical addiction no different than 'in love'. I memorize the little cracks in your finger tips, I try to run away, but you know I'm not done.
I see you in the mirror and in the streets, you fill my field of vision, but you're just out of reach. Your shadow kisses softly down my spine, I drink your shards of glass, and your sweet wine. Like a moth in a web that has no hope, I'm the strange fruit hanging from your rope.

The lines in your jaw, how they deepen, Your eyes that pierce when you take. Our innards intertwine like snakes in a jar, An attraction we both can not fake. I drink your hot sand when i'm thirsty, I bathe in your ice when i'm sick. I cut myself deeper when I'm wounded, Cause the opposite just might fix .... 'it'. Your course is not clear, although i try, You knew what I wanted, why didn't I cause I'm Tortured In You.

I'm angled like an 8-ball to your pocket, I'm strangled like a secret in your closet. I'm tangled like the knots in your gold chain, I'm mangled, do you love me just the same.
Cause I'm ensnared, I'm entwisted, enlisted, misfitted, your lover, confider, your liar, your buyer, You're my butterfly dancing round in my brain, But you enfold me like an octopus on its prey. Your ravishing hunger, fulfilled by your bite., I can't get enough, even though it's not right.
Cause I'm tortured... I am tortured... I'm tortured.. in you.

So what do you propose that we do, To break this chain that binds. I've begged, I've pleaded, I've prayed, I'm defeated, My dear, we are short of time - again. You are my reflection, and now we must admit. The lesion is getting deeper, and the bottom just doesn't quit
