"It's added adventure for me to keep my face a secret until the last second" |
Black Mask By Sapphirefly There’s a city set against a setting sun The outline of the skyscrapers fades as the city lights flick on As the sun sinks behind the buildings I wake up I’m not a night creature by nature It’s just my favourite pleasure to use the night as my sparring ground Although I’m not your enemy tonight I’ll meet you I wear a black mask over my eyes It’s added adventure for me to keep my face a secret until the last second I haven’t met you formally So I’ll wait You’re the sort of woman I’ve seen Hang upside down in your loft just to let the blood rush to your head Pop pink bubblegum at strangers You tease me Maybe it’s your playful eyes Or the way you walk when you know everyone is watching you It’s your style that draws me to you You’re too good I’m the kind of guy you follow Because I caught your arm when you tripped coming out of the tunnels You saw my black mask and couldn’t resist Our eyes met Chasing me all the way to the pit It’s smoky and the air is filled with something to let you know it was a mistake Coming here and watching me fight You were interested Your eyes were wide as you warned me You didn’t think I stood a chance against the giant guy who stood opposite me I was too slender, my hands too white I’ll show you His blood splattered into the third row But that was only the beginning for me since I’m not even warm yet You don’t know how tough I am You’ll see it By the fourth brawl I’m ready to go I thought you would have run home or passed out on the floor by now But you relaxed and you cheered for me I heard you I’ve got a cut above my eyebrow I ignore the sting and the pain in my jaw and asked you if I could take you home Still, I wear the black mask It’s my name My wet hair falls over the material You’re exceptionally conversational as we leave and head out the back doors I was wrong about you You had fun I think only that you’re beautiful And how I want to blow your mind apart with the exact colour of my eyes I haven’t decided that path yet Will you wait? I’ll watch you tonight You’re the type of woman who eats ice cream directly from the tub Who sits on the countertop and talks about me And how I kissed you |
