Double Edged Sword lyrics

The sharpest weapon she has is her tongue. 
She is careless and overbearing. 
Unmoved by a passer-by's smile, 
She slows for nothing but the weight of a material stare. 

She groans for approval and waits for it. 
Everybody listen. 
We know it's gold the way she kisses. 
She leaves stars in our eyes when she is listless. 

I know I'm out of control everytime she passes my way. 
I'm left to stand in the dust and debris and the aftermath she leaves in her path. 
I run circles while the insects feed on my flesh. 
And she lights a smoke and says with a smile - run and get me another daiquiri. 
Ain't it funny the grip she has on everyone she passes through. 
I'd walk through hell and back and still I know that that won't do. 
I've seen a thousand dreams crushed by surfeit of her lies. 
Ain't it funny the grip she has around the necks of the ignorant like us. 
Not me anymore. I know. I've seen it. I'd kill to shine her shoes. 
I've got her. she's mine. she offers what I can't refuse. 
I'll break these chains that bind me. I'll shut her mouth. 
I'd rather be blind then go to hell with two eyes. 
She's not a temptress I can't withstand.
