Your gaze is sharp, a targeted sting
I feel it tracing every single string
That holds my soul and makes my body sing
A silent, sharp, and dizzying thing
In this loud and crowded room
Underneath the blinding glare
I see the midnight madness brewing there
A lawless, hot, and desperate prayer
I know it well, 'cause I put it there
You think you're the hunter, closing in
But I built the walls you're standing in
I laid the trap, you took the bait
Let's see who breaks, and who can wait
So go on, take your shot, I'm not your prey
I'm the one who leads you astray
You think you're in control, but don't you know?
I'm the one who won't let go
This is a game, a beautiful lie
I'm the fire in your cool, dark eyes
Who's catching who? It's hard to tell
When I'm the heaven and the hell
Oh-oh-oh, I see you falter
Oh-oh-oh, upon your altar
Oh-oh-oh, I'm bending your power
In this final, fragile hour
I love the calm you wear, a perfect fit
I love the cracks you think you hid
The slightest shake, the breath you quit
It's the thrill that makes me feel alive
You move with grace, you think you lead
But every step, it's guaranteed
I set the stage for your every need
Just to feel you start to bleed composure
You think you're the hunter, closing in
But I built the walls you're standing in
I laid the trap, you took the bait
Let's see who breaks, and who can wait
So go on, take your shot, I'm not your prey
I'm the one who leads you astray
You think you're in control, but don't you know?
I'm the one who won't let go
This is a game, a beautiful lie
I'm the fire in your cool, dark eyes
Who's catching who? It's hard to tell
When I'm the heaven and the hell
The strings I pulled, they felt so tight
I thought I held the only light
But now I'm tangled in your night
And losing my own will to fight
This surrender feels so deep
A secret only we can keep
Turns out the victory I stole
Was you just taking back my soul
So go on, take your shot, I'm not your prey
I'm the one who leads you astray
You think you're in control, but don't you know?
I'm the one who won't let go
This is a game, a beautiful lie
I'm the fire in your cool, dark eyes
Who's catching who? It's hard to tell
When I'm the heaven and the hell
My hunter, my game...
Look what we became...
Who's caught in the flame?
We're both... under the chain.
