Persephone

Falling
into step with you.
The devil's in the details,
and he's dancing in your shoes.

You look so pure,
but I know better.
There's something in those eyes,
something sinister.

I can't pull away,
though I know I should.
You're going to burn me,
as I'd never thought you could.

The devil's in the details,
or so they say.
I'm falling into you,
I can't look away.

Take what's left
of my paper heart.
Burn it to ash,
let us restart.

Let me pretend
I don't know it's you.
Let me fall into step
with someone new.

I can't go back.
I wouldn't know how.
Even if I wanted to,
or could right now.

I am yours,
and you are mine.
We're all we shall have,
till the end of time.

I'm falling,
falling for you.
Please say you'll catch me,
and we'll start anew.

Just one more dance,
as my world alights to flames.
I can't feel a thing,
yet I know nothing's the same.

Somehow,
when the song comes to an end,
I know I'll walk away
with you holding my hand.

The devil's in the details,
and wouldn't I know,
as I stare into your eyes
I'd give anything to go.

Take me home,
a new home with you.
I've fallen so strongly,
you're all that will do.

As the music fades,
my heart blows away...
nothing but scraps,
yet here I stay.

All that's left
as we walk from the floor,
your hand in mine-
forever more.
