A Poetic Retelling of an Unfortunate Seduction Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The language in the [F]dimmer rooms
[E]Seems to represent the [Em]light [F]source well
[Am]How soft they speak and [F]seem
to be at peace
[Em]With the [F]music and the madness that is
pulling me into this
[E][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[F]
[Am]And the shades of the
[F]lamps are woven red
The light, it stains and consecrates
[G]Anointing all forgotten forms
that [E]swirl and smoke
And haunt this place

[Verse 3]
The [Am]girls [F]in gowns all [Am]nurse the dark
[E]Pulling it near to their swelling [Em]breasts
And [F]watch as it seeps to their hearts
And [E]beats within their virgin chests

[Verse 4]
And [F]here I know seduc
[Am]tion breeds
[F]From wanton hearts that would seduce
And [G]grows and spreads
it's vine and leaves
Em[E]bracing those who might have moved

[Verse 5]
But [Am]now re[F]main to drink [Am]the night
from [F]vials black and thick
With [G]intoxicating delights
would [E]leave you drunk
Inside this [F]dream
[E]And you [Esus4]watch the[E]m t[Am]ake th[G]e light fr[F]om
[Esus4]you And y[E]ou find[Am] yourself on a[E] velvet couch
[Esus4]Tasting t[E]he skin of a foreign g[F]irl[Am]
Her [F]eyes are black and [E]wet like oil
[F]And she ties your hands with
a string of [Am]pearls[F]

[Verse 6]
And [Am]you tremble like a frightened bird
As she [E]closes in and captures
you [F]to place you
In a silver cage [E]deep within
her poisoned [F]womb
[Am]So once you're safe insi[Em]de,
she might [C]let [F]you out

[Verse 7]
[E]To fly [Am]in circles [F]around the[E] room
But it's [F]al ways night and there
[E]is no moon
[Am]And you wonder [G]if you
[F]are still [E]alive
And you're not sure [G]if [F]you want [E]to be

[Verse 8]
[E]But [Am]you drink her sweat like [F]it was [E]wine
And [F]you lay with her on a bed [Em]of blue
And it's [F]awful sweet
Like [E]the fruit she [Am]cut s[G] a[F]nd f[E]eeds[Am][G][C][G]
[F]to you
