Game of Shadows

The room grows dim, the air is thin, We wear the quiet discipline of cool reserve. A glance, a flash, a subtle shift, A dangerous and elegant drift across the curve. You lean against the mahogany wall, Waiting to see if I will trip and fall into your trap. We dance the edges of a sweet decay, Playing a game where every word's a map. And oh, that look in your eyes, It strips away all my quiet disguise. You pull me closer while you push me away, A game of shadows where we love to play. Is it a threat or an open embrace? I lose my breath in this breathless chase, Finding a thrill where our secrets collide— There’s no escape from this reckless pride. You trace the stem of crystal glass, Watching the fleeting moments pass with heavy grace. A calculated step or two, I turn around and suddenly find you in your space. You whisper something that you shouldn't say, Daring the dark to try and lead us astray tonight. The hunter turns, the prey looks back, And hesitation vanishes in the blinding light. And oh, that look in your eyes, It strips away all my quiet disguise. You pull me closer while you push me away, A game of shadows where we love to play. Is it a threat or an open embrace? I lose my breath in this breathless chase, Finding a thrill where our secrets collide— There’s no escape from this reckless pride. We build the walls just to watch them fall, Risking it all for the thrill of the pull. A dangerous current beneath the floor, Every look leaves us wanting more, more, more. You step ahead, I match your pace, Trapped in the rhythm of this sweet embrace. And oh, that look in your eyes, It strips away all my quiet disguise. You pull me closer while you push me away, A game of shadows where we love to play. Is it a threat or an open embrace? I lose my breath in this breathless chase, Finding a thrill where our secrets collide— There’s no escape from this reckless pride. Just a glance, just a touch, We play with fire and we love it too much. Mouse or master, hunter or prey— We wouldn't have it any other way.
