On nights when the room is quiet and dark
The walls shrink as she whispers empty promises in my ear
Temptation like a velvet shroud
So inviting
But I remember
I remember nights when the shadows held me in cold embrace
As I shrank to nothing
Footsteps in the darkness
Taps on the walls
Unknown spirits mock me
As I lay choking on her promises
Until all fades into the morning light
All except the fear griping my mind
I remember
Yet I still wish

She calls me
On nights when the room is quiet and dark
The walls shrink as she whispers empty promises in my ear
Temptation like a velvet shroud
So inviting
But I remember
I remember nights when the shadows held me in cold embrace
As I shrank to nothing
Footsteps in the darkness
Taps on the walls
Unknown spirits mock me
As I lay choking on her promises
Until all fades into the morning light
All except the fear griping my mind
I remember
Yet I still wish
To answer when she calls
