Sell yourself on beauty
I’m purchasing
You say you have no use for my currency
but then you reach inside to look for all I’m offering
restrict the pulse from beating
At your own luxury
but that's okay
And that's okay
Brace yourself for the impact
I’m descending
Devoured by these feelings surrounding me
But when I reach inside to look for mutuality
You say that time’s the reason
and that it’s all we need
and that's okay
Then you walk away
Lock the door and throw they key
I’m your prisoner of love
And I don't care
And it’s safe to say
That its hurting me to stay
I’m your prisoner of love
And that's okay
You make me shiver,
send me up the river
into limbo get delivered girl but that's okay
Hook line and sicker
Is a chalice to a drinker
down in one the sweetest poison till the lips turn grey
You know I like my jailers, like my hemlock; on ice
don't need it sugar coated they concern is duly noted but the bitter tastes so nice
Then you walk away
Lock the door and throw they key
I’m your prisoner of love
And I don't care
And it’s safe to say
That its hurting me to stay
I’m your prisoner of love
And that's okay
