Sting Me Softly

Shadow on your lips,

I taste the truth you hide.

You pull me close,

but I’m already inside.

You move like smoke in a dim-lit room,

I breathe you in, it feels like doom.

Your eyes, a promise I can’t define,

Poison-sweet — I call it mine.

I know your love’s a weapon,

but I keep coming close.

You sting and then you save me,

that’s the way it goes.

Sting me softly, let me feel your fire,

burn my soul, then lift me higher.

I’m addicted to the pain you bring,

I die each time — and rise again.

Secrets wrapped around your skin,

every word pulls me back in.

You heal me slow, you break me clean,

the sweetest hurt I’ve ever seen.

You warn me with your silence,

I answer with my sin.

I’m bleeding in your orbit,

and I don’t wanna win.

Sting me softly, let me feel your fire,

burn my soul, then lift me higher.

I’m addicted to the pain you bring,

I die each time — and rise again.

You’re the night,

I’m the flame.

We destroy,

but it’s the same.

Love like ours don’t fade —

it leaves a mark,

under the shade.

Sting me softly, I don’t fear the pain,

every scar just spells your name.

I’d bleed again to feel that high,

Skorpion hearts were made to die.

Shadow on your lips…

fire in your eyes…

sting me softly…

one more time.
