Lyrics I The Mighty – Artful Temptress (Paint Me Senseless)
Text:
I can feel it running through my veins like a flood.
Adrenaline, without even a trace of blood.
And every little thing that you ever said to me is in my head, running circles.
I can’t even think, I can barely catch my breath.
Make me believe this is our rapture and we’re both playing our part.
(Artful temptress, paint me senseless).
You kept me so in the dark.
Yeah!
Make me believe I can’t remember when you were plotting this course.
(Sinful wordsmith, speak me worthless).
You kept me blind to the source.
Yeah!
I can hear the words repeat:
«I’m not the one who suits you most.»
And I know you’re right, but I won’t ever tell you so.
And every little thing that you ever said to me is in my head, running circles.
I can’t even think, I can barely catch my breath.
Make me believe this is our rapture and we’re both playing our part.
(Artful temptress, paint me senseless).
You kept me so in the dark.
Yeah!
Make me believe I can’t remember when you were plotting this course.
(Sinful wordsmith, speak me worthless).
You kept me blind to the source.
Yeah!
You couldn’t bring yourself to own up to this,
So I’ll be the one to cast the stone.
I can’t breathe when I’m just laying in my bed.
And though I’ve never been the type to second guess,
You should know some things are better left unsaid,
I shouldn’t have believed you then.
No, I should have never asked.
No, I should have never asked.
No, I should have never asked.
