THE RED DOOR

I don't care
Where you've been
Or what you've done
Arrived out of nowhere
And I was gone
Should've knocked
On the red door
In the hazy hours

I keep thinking
It could be so good
I've got wicked tricks
Up my sleeve
Devotion and tenderness
Things you've never
Dreamed of
In the early hours
You'd want more

I bet there's
Nothing wilder
Than your heart
Tears would taste sweet
If you're the reason
I can see clearly
For both of us
If you're lost at sea
In a tempest of confusion
I'll be your anchor

The bluest eyes
I've ever seen
The best ones are taken
Just my luck
Three o'clock in the morning
My head is spinning
Who knows
What tomorrow brings
Contemplation and
The nine of swords

The silence said
It all
Didn't surprise me
Like the first time
I thought I wouldn't be
Able to let go but
Turns out there
Are limits
I'm done expecting
Anything

I don't trust anybody
For a reason
Been round the track
Too many times
Lost my mind
And my heart
It's time to
Step away from
This woeful game

Nobody won this time
On this road to ruin
Looks like
All the commotion is
Yet to come
It was just
Temporary insanity
A close call

Don't worry
You can't hurt me
My heart is made
Of magic, moonlight and steel
I've learned my lessons
Yesteryears liaisons
Gone wrong
