One Fell Swoop lyrics

The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined
as I'm running to you
You sit completely unaware of what I'm about to do
The air is thick with tension much like when we are together
My fangs are aching as I'm pondering about you and I forever

As I round your corner
I am nervous that you won't be my lover
I knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won't blow my cover

Alright, that's it, I've had enough, I'm on my way to you
It's nauseating and I'm sick of waiting
for all these pointless calls to go through

But no, I'm not a skeptic anymore
At last I see what all of this ridiculous hard work is for
The moisture in the air is begging for release
and the memory of your stare is raining down on me

Hypothetically if you were point A

It was in the lobby when I set my sights on you.
Should have kissed you in the elevator.
But I was too scared to.
It was in the morning when I made up my mind.
I want you staplegunned right to my side all of the time.
Whooa.

Do I have to spell it out for you?
Or scream it in your face?
Oh the chemistry between us could destroy this place.
Do I have to spell it out for you?

Fade in, start the scene
Enter beautiful girl
But things are not as they seem
As we stand at the edge of the world

Excuse me sir, but I had plans to die tonight
Oh and you are directly in my way
And I bet you’re gonna say it’s not right
My reply
Excuse me miss
But do you have the slightest clue
Of exactly what you just said to me

I'm rackin my brain
trying to comprehend
how, for some unknown reason, our status will remain as friends
I'm destroying my mind
trying to understand how with little to no effort
you've got me eating out of the palms of your hands

There was not a single spark
when my lips landed on yours in the dark,
but regardless of what happens next
you're my beloved, you just don't know it yet

Yeah there's a method to my madness
If only I could find it I could make you safe
See there's a therapist trying to tell me that
you are just a figment of my tainted brain

No, I believe
that you're not just conjured up
No, I believe
'cause I feel it when we touch

You make it dry when it's raining outside
You warm my blood when the temperature dies

In one fell swoop it became clear to me,
that I despise you entirely,
but the good news is I'm gonna keep you around
And so your lust is just convenient now

Crack open a bottle of red
Let's toast to this here bed
Offer up your hand
My one night, two month, three year stand

And all at once it became clear to me,
that you're allergic to honesty
And you don't even have a friend around

You're captivating while evading
all the questions I have for you like,
"What exactly makes you tick?"
When the guilt sets in tell me
what exactly are we going to do?

Your tongue is wet with a top secret passion
I hope I am the cause of it
I'll navigate this unsturdy vessel filled with a soft sea pillows and blankets

And I fight the urge to explore
the vastness of your curse I adore

Paranoia..
Is haunting you
And all these dirty looks,
Well they are right on cue
You're full up to the brim
With that "he said, she said" trash
You exist behind your keyboard
And then youre gone in a flash

Ten bucks says you don't have it in you
To conquer fear and quit believing what they tell you to
You are careening shamelessly into oblivion

I used to wanna feel your summer sweat
Seeping right into my eyes
I used to wanna feel your body quake when
I sank my teeth into your thighs

Where did you come from
Where have you been
I don't know that much about you
But I don't think that I would like to anymore

The curtain's rising just like the ending
Here we go now, break a leg
---

I used to know you like the back of my hand
Until today you held your place
Now you're shifting like the sand
Your chest would heave with pride if I were spoken of
'Till tonight I never knew the difference between comfort and love

Although you're sleeping right next to me
Well, it feels like you are wide awake in a distant dream
leading a life that is finally free

A special place inside my skull
Where your DNA it coats my cerebrum
In full oral stuttering and drooling
My shredded throat will try to sing for you

What do you say?
Would you marry me today?
The moon will gut your inside out
And my nightmares will go away
What do you say?
Would you devote yourself today?
Like riding on a sinking ship
As it lowers into the bay
Please stay

Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore
She loves salting my wounds
Yes, she enjoys nothing more
I bleed confidence from deep within my guts now
I'm the king of this pity party with my jewel encrusted crown

I wanna tear apart your room
to see if what you say is true
Darling don't you lie, lie to me
I wanna break into your heart
to see why you want us apart

I am unbreakable but it looks like I could sometime soon
And you are unreachable about as possible as me touching the moon

I am unraveling unbearably empty
and if this ground gives way I just hope that you’ll catch me.

You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Whoa, now I’m content with my breathe cuz I’m alive
