When The Lights Go Out

Sometimes, a wounded and neglected heart is faced with the decision not to seek love, but rather a place where it can forget and repress its feelings for one night. Between guilt, shame, inner turmoil, and desire, a strange reflection emerges. Thus, in the darkness, closeness becomes numbness, ecstasy becomes refuge - and a distant acquaintance becomes the only place where the pain is briefly silenced. ____________________________ https://suno.com/@therealjester77 Lyrics by TheRealJester © 𝟮𝟬𝟮6 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱. ____________________________ [Verse 1] We meet in the alley, Off the main street, Where the lights dim low. Keep the conversation short, Before we depart to a hidden suite, Where I'll let all sins flow. [Spoken Interlude] Parker: "Sarah, we don't have to do this, if you don't want to." Sarah: "He... he doesn’t see me anymore... but you do... that’s why I’m here." [Verse 2] The love ground's all prepared, I trace the warmth of your skin, As we lie down bare. Though it's a borrowed thrill, Your seductive kiss, Could save me from any nightmare. [Break] I start movin' over you, I'm torn between betrayal and bliss. Oh God, I know that it's wrong, But I have craved so long for this. [Pre-Chorus] And I don't recognize myself, You've got me under your control. Almost a stranger to me, But it's like you know my very soul. [Chorus] And when the lights go out, My tears all start to flow. Caught in this toxic lust between burning sheets, I give in to my moans, drownin' in your heat. We shouldn't be doing this, But it's oh so bittersweet. And when the lights go out, I let all my inhibitions go. This rapture ain't pure, But maybe that’s the cure. Reclaiming what monotony once stole, This ecstasy with you, Keeps me beggin' for more. [Verse 3] I stare outside the window, Send out a silent vow, To the neon haze. I did this just to feel alive, To numb the pain from sorrow at home, The bitter strife at its darkest phase. [Break] I have lost my bearings, But you pull me out of the mist. In here, you're my guiding compass, Leading me through every twist. [Pre-Chorus] And I don't recognize myself, I'm like a moth to your flame. Baby, turn this bed into an oasis, And I will try shutting out the shame. [Chorus] And when the lights go out, My tears all start to flow. Caught in this toxic lust between burning sheets, I give in to my moans, drownin' in your heat. We shouldn't be doing this, But it's oh so bittersweet. And when the lights go out, I let all my inhibitions go. This rapture ain't pure, But maybe that’s the cure. Reclaiming what monotony once stole, This ecstasy with you, Keeps me beggin' for more. [Bridge] I know this isn't healing, But it feels like peace tonight. I know your touch ain't love, But it quiets my war inside. Is this just escape? Or something more profound? I am lost in you, And terrified to be found. [Chorus] And when the lights go out, (go out!) My tears all start to flow. (start to flow!) Caught in this toxic lust between burning sheets, I give in to my moans, drownin' in your heat. We shouldn't be doing this, But it's oh so bittersweet. And when the lights go out, I let all my inhibitions go. (inhibitions go) This rapture ain't pure, But maybe that’s the cure. Reclaiming what monotony once stole, This ecstasy with you, Keeps me beggin' for more! [Outro] So hold me close tonight, But darlin', not too tight. After all ... I’m only here to forget ... And when the lights go out tonight, I'll make love to you ... And dance ... With my regrets ...
