My lover has a way of losing it My lover has a way of taking the chains around my neck and pulling them tight My lover has a taste for brute force My lover has a way of counting the cards, changing the game, loading the dice My lover is the devil, I’m keeping him at bay My body is the sacrifice to keep his rage away Goodbye will bring no solace, just a miserable escape A desperate attempt to keep my soul awake He’s got an appetite for a good game He’ll let you think you have the lead, then he’ll rip it all away He’ll call it luck of the draw But how stupid are you, you knew it was rigged but you still played My lover is the devil, I’m keeping him at bay My body is the sacrifice to keep his rage away Goodbye will bring no solace, just a miserable escape A desperate attempt to keep my soul awake Don’t know if I’ll let myself refuse But I know I’ll make it hurt like hell when I do He’s sure hell won’t break loose But he shouldn’t play games he’s not willing to lose But then he presses up against me Touches me to show he can Florida palms see everything They whisper to him, tell him all my plans So in the morning I’ll run but he’ll find me I think he likes the chase My fear makes me taste better he says He likes to see it on my face Cause he’s the devil and it’s keeping him at bay My body is the sacrifice to keep his rage away Goodbye will bring no solace, just a miserable escape A failed attempt to keep my soul awake
