In the doorway she stood
The threshold she stays
Where shadows stray
Red lights on hillsides
It's the arch of her back when she puts her hair up
The spine revealed desperate to capitulate
If only she knew
I want nothing to do
Under a waxing moon
It's possible to elude
Desires apart were pure at heart
If only she knew
I'm trying to be cruel
I'm trying to be cruel
I'm trying to be cruel
In my bedroom she lays
Lamp light she undresses
I light my cigarette
Death like headlights
I fall in my own head
Right where the hallway ends
Blood rushing to a reflection of her ribs
Pushing through
If only I knew
What it is to be true
Under a waxing moon
It's impossible to delude
Fall apart break your heart
If only she knew
I'm trying to be cruel
I'm trying to be cruel
I'm trying to be cruel
