Creeping Desire

I told you to get away from my window

So you crept into my dreams

You acted so sweet and filled with love

But with you, nothing is as it seems

You promised you'd come back to me

But you never returned

Night after night I waited for you

Not wanting to believe I'd been spurned

You used me when you felt empty

Tossed me aside when you had your fill

I died from longing for your fickle love

They buried me on the hill

But even in death you couldn't allow me to rest

Nor allow my spirit to roam in peace

You have no compassion in your cold heart

Nor respect for the deceased

You caused my cold form to rise and walk

A fiend from beyond the grave

With wicked sorcery you bound me to you

You tried to make me your unliving slave

But one day I got tired of serving a man

Who cared not a thing for me

Who wanted only to have me serve at his whim

I was determined that I would be free

I broke the spell you held over me

I took back my life

When you knew you no longer had me in your power

You begged me to become your wife

You can't fool me any more

Your piercing eyes can't hypnotize

You can't charm me or make me weak in the knees

Because I recognize all of your lies

I once thought the sun rose and set on you

I once did anything to please

But now I'm over and done and through with you

I've risen up off my knees

I thought you were so smooth and seductive

But now you make me sick

I need a man who uses his heart and his brain

Not one who thinks with his dick

No more greasy, sour vampire

Promising the world till he's had his fun

Your words are transparent like the glass of the window

Where I now let in the sun
