Story Behind The Song

Further mining the metaphor used in "Wrapped Around Your Finger", I wanted a piece sung from the point of view of an unscrupulous, unsympathetic and flawed character.

Song Description

Sung from the viewpoint of a predator who's ashamed of their behavior and feels guilty, yet is ultimately unrepentant. When the "prey" chooses narrator as it's prey the games begin.

Lyrics

Next To Mine

Flying back like a moth to the flame
I burn my wings in a spiral of shame
Knowing well this?ll all come around
I try to swim but I?ve already drowned

Through the crowd you were slowly weaving
You I saw, I abandoned leaving
You moved in with your lethal training
Knowing well who you?d be obtaining

Found out, you?ve run out of time
We?re both a part of your crime

Moving close as our hips are swaying
Both aware of the game we?re playing
Doomed to play out our roles together
All we share is the fairest weather

Found out, you?ve run out of time
We?re both a part of your crime

You play the darkest part right next to mine
Yours is the darkest art right next to mine

Now the tables are turned you?re crying
Can?t get free of the noose you?re tying
Lost the oars but you still keep rowing
You?re buried under the seeds you?re sowing

Found out, you?ve run out of time
We?re both a part of your crime

You play the darkest part right next to mine
Yours is the darkest art right next to mine
I feel your beating heart right next to mine
I?ll tear your world apart right next to mine
