Am I the snake inside your garden

The sugar in your tea

The knock upon your backdoor

The twist that turns your key

Am I the sweat you feel on your head

The shadow on your face

The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place

Well I don't want to be

I don't want to be

I don't want to be your sweet temptation

I don't want to be your new sensation

It's just a delicate distraction

With just a hint of satisfaction

Look me in the eye and let me know

If you can't love me that let me go

Let me go

Let me go



Do you try to stay suspended

In your deepest fantasy

After night has ended

The scent of mystery

The power of suggestion

Tangles up your soul

A neutral state between love and hate

Is bound to take its toll

Well I don't think you know

I don't think you know

I don't think you know about the screaming

You don't understand the meaning

You could trade it in for laughter

To keep your happy ever after

Look me in the eye and let me know

If you can't love me then let me go

Let me go

Let me go



Baby in your ivory tower

Do you sleep tight dream fight

Baby does it wet your appetite

Maybe in your darkest hour

Am I the keeper of your beast

Well I don't want to be

I don't want to be

So let me go

Let me go
