Closer
by Cauterize

What started out as desire turned into a lover's tryst
Who knew a moth and a flame could ever spawn a love like this?
Now you need something, to taste something just a little bit more sweet
But I am sour and more sour every time that our lips meet

If you're a butterfly, I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite

I never meant to cut so deep (just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt

The ghost of a pathetic past is haunting me here more and more
The skeletons are laughing at me through the closet door
And now past lovers share these covers
Sleeping with my enemies
Thoughts of others come between us
Triggering fits of jealousy

If you're a butterfly, I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite

I never meant to cut so deep (just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt

You can paint me pretty colors
and dress me how you like
I'm just an ugly moth in love
in a butterfly disguise

I have seen the end so many times, I've played it in my mind
And I am scared to death, I never wanna see your dark side

I never meant to cut so deep (just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
I never meant to cut so deep (just enough to bleed)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
