Criminal Image

I'll be your fiction and flight
I'll be your fight with denial
Criminal image of you
You're a sceptre in the dark
Brought tyranny to my heart
Criminal image of you
I draw your blood, steeped in sin
Drag a needle on your skin
Your hands have got me unglued
Can measure pause when we speak
You spin the spell, and I'm weak
Criminal image of you
You're a siren, anything I want
Everything I want
You're a siren, anything I want
Everything I want
I'll take my penance with years
Gathering cups of your tears
Seering myself with their heat
Chained to your curse and sickness
When I taste blood in your kiss
The tiger trap holding me
Lashed out, no purpose, just pain
Three thousand miles away
Criminal image of you
White knuckle you made it stop
Your heart is hard as a rock
Criminal image of you
I have been so small in my head
I'm a hole in your thoughts
I have been so small in my head
But you've got me caught
Initial on every pill
The chemicals keep me still
Bursting synapse in a fugue
Drawing your picture at most
The only way I get close
Standing way back in the queue
Crimson red paint on my door
You've skipped over me before
Criminal image of you
And I am bound in your sleep
Prisoner to all your dreams
Criminal image of you
