lyrics

Here we are lying in blood stained sheets
My heart may explode from the way that it beats
I can't remember how we even got here
covered in satin and black lipstick smears

She looked me in the eye and said there's nothing to fear.
The sound of blood rushing is filling my ears
She kicked her head back with a sinister grin
And fought back a laugh as she sank her teeth in

Try not to fall asleep
keep your eyes open
You'll only wake up in a beautiful nightmare
I just can't get away
Can't stay away
I fell in love with a beautiful nightmare

She sought to control and I thought it was bliss
An infinite beauty with a serpent's kiss
I woke with her fingers wrapped in my hair
The sent of blood and perfume in the air

She looked me in the eye and whispered so sweet
"Hope is just a stop on the road to defeat"
I think I understand and I'm dying for you
Won't you die a little for me too?

Walking arm in arm and dressed to kill
It's too late to deny, the blood has spilled
She asked me "how'd you like a little fun?"
Horror and extasy all rolled into one.

What could I do but aquiese to her whim?
I'm in the deep end now. And it's sink or swim
I could try to get away. or try to quit.
Ah, fuck it. I'm a monster. I admit it.

Try not to fall asleep
keep your eyes open
You'll only wake up in a beautiful nightmare
I just can't get away
Can't stay away
I fell in love with a beautiful nightmare
