I'm trying to wash the taste away
I'm trying to wash the taste away
Trying not to cry the night away
Trying not to cry the night away
I'm finding a bitter word to say
And I'm finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me
Contempt
Every day it kills me
Contempt
Every tear that blinds me
Contempt
Building up inside me
One kiss and the poison melts away
One smile and the poison melts away
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm finding a bitter word to say
And I'm finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me
Contempt
Every day it kills me
Contempt
Every tear that blinds me
Contempt
Building up inside me
You came crawling out the woodwork
Like some ghost from my past
With stories 'bout me
That I'd long since forgot
Telling me tales of how big you are now
But I know you as nothing
As nothing you got
You'd split me wide open
And spill all my beans
Because you think
That I still think
Something of you
You'd run away with everything
That I have
Take all my soul, sense and dignity too
Loving is the saddest game to play
Loving is the saddest game to play
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm finding a bitter word to say
And I'm finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me
Contempt
Every day it kills me
Contempt
Every tear that blinds me
Contempt
Building up inside me
Do you remember
Those hazy amber days
We were but children
Having the time of our lives
We had no regard, no respect
A floor was a bed
And a bed held the mysteries of life
They had to end
But so soon?
And to sit in the dark
Of my lonely room
Made it all seem so cruelly real
Say no goodbyes, no regrets
For the things that we said
How we said
That we only wanted an answer
To our dreams
We wanted an answer to our dreams
Ignorance is bliss
When adulthood we can resist
To embrace the years with grace
What a waste
What a waste
The fun we had
The fun we'll have
Reckless immaturity
For stars we are
And stars we'll be
Just you and me
For stars we are
And stars we'll be
Just you and me
You say I'm your mystery
Please don't ever solve me
Because I won't be a mystery anymore
Something's holding my breath
Strikes the moment down
Gives me greater heights to reach
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Little lover
Let's explore a little while
Dance upon my heart
Take me on, you say
I'll be your mystery
We'll unveil a little more each time
A little more
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Do I ever feel tired?
I answer yes each time
It takes a little more to feel inspired
I'm a teardrop in a storm
A storm at the end of the world
I love you
I'd love you if you weren't you at all
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
My room is flooded blue and green
It's completely real this dream seems
I need you
Or I need somebody now
This hurt it takes me to the edge
The moment when I taste my breath
Sweet with fear
And near to death
A kiss tastes sweeter on the brink of life
On the brink of life
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
You say I'm your mystery
Please don't ever solve me
Because I won't be a mystery anymore
Something's holding my breath
Strikes the moment down
Gives me greater heights to reach
