Clutching at Barbs

Waylaid by the hand that leads Scale the heights of intimacy Forewarned, unarmed One intoxicating whiff and you're snared One intoxicating whiff and you're snared Clutching at barbs Dose up to delirium Cross circles of death for the good Deflect all contests One intoxicating whiff and you're snared Mock me, I'm convulsing I'm clutching at barbs Crass pity goes the deepest It magnifies the dross The dross, the dross A grip enforced, barely healing I'm clutching at barbs Leave me to snatch and paw Then lick my wounds Struggle spent, I concede defeat Swing for scumbags Who heaved the leash Soft hands, sweet chance One intoxicating whiff and I'm snared! One intoxicating whiff and I'm snared!
