Lyrics by Gina Seal
I live in a dichotomy of pain and alchemy
Where I long so desperately to be set free
By the sweet seductive tone of his voice
I rise in a steady gate toward my choice
Yet I love, the most dangerous of souls
I am drawn to them like a child alone
The tainted man in his darkest hour
Only he understands isolation and power
Ah ah ah ah x2 Break the spell
Love so deep it’s like a crushing wave
Violent, persistent, reaching but to save
Our wild hearts and tainted souls
From the world we both devastatingly know
I want to bathe in the purity, my love is white light
Yet I offer it to the dark, beholden to my plight
To gamble with my heart, over and over again
Or be locked in the safe solitude of alchemy to the end
Ah ah ah ah x2 Break the spell
