lyrics

COMPEL ME
Holding time to cross that line
your body’s wet with the scent of desire
I volunteer to step inside your predatory gaze
you take me in and tie me down,
the force of want is on your side Instead
Then the raven flies through your witch’s eyes
to compel me to a darker place

Chorus
Scratch your nails down the window pane
Make me take the apple ‘til I go insane
Snap your tail, you’re a cat with power
Let me feel your finest hour
Lead me down where I can see
The darkest place where I can be
compel me now... x3

Bridge
Let’s tie ourselves together just you and me
And find that place where the darkness meets
Our dirtiest dreams
O baby, there’s no escape from me
Somehow I know you’ll understand When I s
surrender to your wild hands and your sinful needs
There’s no escape from me

Chorus

No better love than with a little pain
the burn of your lust is no child’s game
When I give it all I notice now...
how you’ve never been
tamed...
My body sweats I breathe you in,
I feel the sharpened bite of your sins
I surrender deep, you lose yourself,
we cross that line where pain to pleasure gives in
