She watches him glide across the floor
it's become an obsession
she can't deny any more
She knows that he can see her
but pretends she's not there
as she walks up to him
and grabs hold of his hair
...and she says...
My arms ache to hold the demon
get lost in his dark embrace
touch me there it's just like dreaming
leave your mark without a trace...
Make me yours and make me tremble
draw the life from every vein
this love is a sacred symbol
take me from this life of pain...
Shake me like a battered rag doll
pull my hair and make me cry
my wounded soul hears your call
In your arms I'd gladly die
he watches as she walks away
rubs his scalp where her claws dug
wonders why he didn't see before
and finally just shrugs
and when the darkness has engulfed her
and she has wandered far away
he tries to forget the words she whispered
but inside he hears her say...
My arms ache to hold the demon
get lost in his dark embrace
touch me there it's just like dreaming
leave your mark without a trace...
Make me yours and make me tremble
draw the life from every vein
this love is a sacred symbol
take me from this life of pain...
Shake me like a battered rag doll
pull my hair and make me cry
my wounded soul hears your call
In your arms I'd gladly die...
he pretends it never happened
but her words echo in his mind
and won't let him live in peace again
as he stumbles through his life
other women come and go
but every time he tries
when he touches them it's her he feels
and he recalls the look in her eyes
when she said...
My arms ache to hold the demon
get lost in his dark embrace
touch me there it's just like dreaming
leave your mark without a trace...
Make me yours and make me tremble
draw the life from every vein
this love is a sacred symbol
take me from this life of pain...
Shake me like a battered rag doll
pull my hair and make me cry
my wounded soul hears your call
In your arms I'd gladly die...
then one night he sees her
in the shadows beyond the crowd
and before she can escape again
he calls her name out loud
he grabs her hair like she did his
and at his feet she bows
he thinks that he knows what to say
but when the words come out
they aren't what he thought they'd be
and finally he shouts...
You think this is what you want
that my touch will set you free
do you even have an idea
of what's inside of me?
you want this touch
you want this pain
but in the end
what will you gain?
it's me in whom this demon lives
i live every day with what it gives
What to you is just a dream
has become a nightmare for me.
so remember what I say to you
as you lie broken on the floor
to me you'll be a memory
but to you I'm something more.
