Dark Eyes

Midnight city, neon bleeding through the blinds

You lay back quiet but your dark eyes loud

Mascara running like secrets down your cheeks

Lipstick on my collar, you don’t say it proud

Room full of smoke, but you colder than the winter

Black lace shadows dancing on your skin

Heart so toxic but it taste like liquor

Every time I leave you pull me back in

You whisper slow like you scared of the silence

Fingertips tracing all the scars on my chest

Said you love chaos, you love the violence

Of a broken boy that never really rests

You look at me like I’m heaven and hell

Like you wanna be saved but love the sin

Your dark eyes got a story to tell

About every man you let ruin your skin

You grab my chain and pull me closer

Breath smell like tequila and lies

Say you hate me but your body don’t

Your dark eyes telling me otherwise

Window cracked, hear the sirens sing

City lights flicker on your thighs

You say my name like it’s everything

“Ares…” falling from your dark eyes

You bite your lip when I go quiet

Say you hate when I get in my head

But you love when I move in silence

When I don’t gotta say what I said

Cold heart, but you keep it warmer

Hands shaking when I touch your waist

Said you never felt nothing deeper

Now you addicted to the taste

You sit on my lap, hair in my face

Whisper low like it’s do or die

You say it again, slow with grace

“Ares… don’t leave me tonight”

Dark room but your eyes still shining

Like stars that done fell from the sky

You swear you ain’t into feelings

But you can’t even look me in the eye

We both damaged, we both toxic

Kissing like it’s our last goodbye

Every promise we make we break

Still you crawling back every time

You tell me you love my silence

The way I move, the way I stare

Said my shadow feel like protection

Even though it ain’t really fair

Lip gloss stains on the mirror

You write hearts then cross them out

Say you scared of forever

But you can’t live with the doubt

You call me late when you lonely

Voice shaking but you play it cool

Say you hate how I control you

But you love when I break the rules

Your dark eyes heavy with secrets

Past full of nights you regret

But when you look at me different

It’s like you ain’t done running yet

We don’t talk about feelings

We let the tension speak instead

Your nails down my back leaving marks

Like memories we never said

Outside world don’t know nothing

About the way you hold my face

Like I’m the only thing grounding

In your fast-paced, reckless race

Dark eyes, black heart, red lips

You and me moving too fast

Every time we say it’s over

We already know it won’t last

No sunrise can fix what we are

No daylight can make it right

But in the dark with your eyes on mine

It feels like we winning the fight

You swear you don’t believe in love

But your body don’t know how to lie

And every time you say my name

It’s written deep in your dark eyes.
