Limerence

Lyrics

Verse:
Smoky abyss, secret cave drawing me in
It’s the salt on my glass, glistening on the rim
There’s a darkness so sweet, caught in scent, caught in blue
When I take your pale hand you know that’s hardly a sin

Chorus: 
You can give it to me in feverish dreams
Tease the fiends in me, the devils and queens
I’m not pursuing you boy, you know that’s not what I mean
But the night is inviting and reveals the dark side in me

Verse:
It’s a slippery slope, and I’m not going down
Hurt pride makes me cruel - I tantalise you, make you frown
I would take all of you before the madness subsides 
But I’m not going to be the one to take you back downtown 

Chorus 2 x

Dark Side

Interlude I:  Elements/Dark Side Recap

The wine makes you look pretty
You know we think you're sweet
It's all the same to you
Party those demons away

A butterfly like you
A bird in rainbow colors
You flutter and you charm us
Nectar flowing through your veins
The stage is your home base 
The night is your lover
The light of day is far away but closing time too soon

Abandonment makes us feel pretty
Anarchy keeps us young
It's all the same to me 
Let's laugh the night away 

A butterfly like you
A bird in rainbow color 
You flutter and you charm us
Nectar flowing through your veins
The stage is your home base 
The night is your lover
The light of day is far away but closing time too soon

A butterfly like you
A bird in rainbow color 
You flutter and you charm us
Nectar flowing through your veins
The stage is your home base 
The night is your lover
The light of day is far away but closing time too soon

Pretty

Fog descends over me
When you're arousing to me
Melt into madness
Desire so sweet
Intoxicating
Wakes me up at night
I bite your name into my pillow
Clouded judgement inspires touches
I can almost taste your lips
Would have kissed you then and there
Dreams folded in haze
Your eyes
Time warp
In the night a shadow descends over me
Hologram embrace
The light of day too close
I want to hold on to this moment
Taking in your beauty, inhaling all of you in dreams
Just be with me
Just a moment to imagine what could be and will not be
Just let me breathe
Melt into smiles and laughter, stroking your hair
Caught in a bubble, before I let you go
Imagination 
How soft your skin might be

Lyrics:

Seeing you in this haze of smoke and poison
Closeness emerging, enveloped in bright lights 
Fingers briefly entwined
I'm loving tonight's little lie

Feeling you in this haze of empty promise
Little hedonist luring us away from silence and from the light of day
Your smile, your hand in mine
I’m loving tonight’s little lie

Refrain:

Bring on the magic, the sparkle in your eye
Opium to me - I know you’ll leave me high and dry
One more time, just one last time, relishing this thrill
Baby I can handle it - the solitude 
Tomorrow’s chill

Seeing you in this haze of lust and nectar 
Your scent 
Dig in the knife
Time passes, urgency fades
Embrace the night, leave a dent in the picture
I’m loving tonight’s little lie 

Seeing you in this haze of smoke and poison
Closeness emerging, enveloped in bright lights 
Fingers briefly entwined
I’m loving tonight’s little lie
Feeling you in this haze of empty promise
Little hedonist luring us away from silence and from the light of day
Your smile, your hand in mine
I’m loving tonight’s little lie

Refrain

Tomorrow's Chill

Lyrics:

It's not so easy to make me lonely
It's not so easy to make me cry
Take your tricks and games and throw them out the window for now
I've got irons in the fire - put you on the back burner

You looked so fragile, looked so pale
Sweat on your brow, your hair a charming mess
Your eyes were kind but dazed

Clouded judgement inspires affection, inspires respect, inspires trust
Your eyes were dazed
This time I'll keep my sense, I'll keep my pride, I'll keep my distance
But you looked so fragile, looked so pale

(Backing vocal, freely quoting "Blue/Violet Light": No turning back, your reflection fair
Your shadow music, vibrating in dull light
My vision blurry, your image blurry
Caught in a Timelapse in dull light)

It's not so easy to make me lonely
It's not so easy to make me cry
Take your tricks and games and throw them out the window for now
I've got irons in the fire - put you on the back burner
