[Intro] Tangaled in my strings my Love Oh... you came back... [hushed laughter] [Verse 1] Hush now, love, you trembled at my door, You wanted to be caught, you begged for more. Not a trap, dear, but a thread I lay, To stitch your lonely heart to stay. You called it death, I called it a spell. [Chorus] I didn't steal your heart, you left it bare, In my silken hair, in this cold air. Men come to be ensnared, To hear the lies they need whispered. I don't spin your endless hell, I just hold your love... on a carousel. [Verse 2] Dark boy of the night, why do you run and hide? From the hunger in your own mind. Eight arms to hold you, eight eyes to see you well, One mouth to drink your lonely well. Beautiful mourner, were you a fool to want me so? Or was my venom just... too cold? [Bridge] Slow. Soft. Suspended. My kiss isn't morphine. I don't kill you, love, I... remember you. [Chorus] Empty was your heart, I made it full, my dear, Wicked? No. Just the one who stayed near. Men's hearts break themselves, I just tie the threads they sever. Trapped? No, love... we dwell, In this widowed love, a carousel. [Outro] No beginning, no farewell, Just our strings of fate... a carousel... A carousel... you spin so well.
