Safe House
Hyperestis
You're my secret contact
Silently counting backward
Waiting for the password
Waiting for the password
I gave you information
You heightened my elation
Invited me into your listening station
Under covers
Sharing secret whispers
Keeping you apprised
Removing your disguise
Inside information
You have ways to make me.. talk
Use your tactics on me
Pick. my. lock.
Quid pro quo - my double oh oh ohhhh
My double oh
Under covers
Sharing secret whispers
Keeping you apprised
Removing your disguise
Out in the cold
We'll meet again I'm certain
When I go beyond your curtain
I know that there's no loyalty
When the call comes it's you or me
No place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be

Loneliness Is A Poison
Hyperestis
Loneliness is a poison
Loneliness is a poison
Loneliness is a poison
Loneliness is a poison
Delivered by a kiss
If I start to get too close
Always remember this
They say that I'm a toxin
But I can't imagine why
Isn't it delightful
As I wetly suck you dry
Detached and very delicate
I seem beautiful and tragic
And it helps me to attract
The substance that I lack
You turned your back on me. No one turns their back on me.
I have to ask, what did you think was gonna happen?
You say that I'm a toxin
Your face against my thigh
Is it really so frightful
As I wetly suck you dry
You say that I'm a toxin
Your face against my thigh
Is it really so frightful
As I wetly suck you dry
Loneliness is a poison
Delivered by a kiss
If I start to get too close
Always remember this
I have to ask, what did you think was gonna happen?

Ghost Like Me
Hyperestis
I'm unnatural
I've slipped between your thoughts
The strangeness in me grows
As your sense of order rots
I have the answers
The things you'd rather not face
I have sighs and whispers
About my fall from grace (my fall from grace)
You've never danced with a ghost like me
I'll tie you in knots to set you free
Chained to the devil in the endless night
It's Hell for you, for me, just right
I'm seductive
My temptation tongue in your lips
Mesmerize with ancient eyes
Fascinate with my hips (my fingertips)
I have needs
Their depths know no bounds
They could drown you
Under lover's soothing sounds
You've never danced with a ghost like me
I'll tie you in knots to set you free
Chained to the devil in the endless night
It's Hell for you, for me, just right
At first I'm your angel on cobweb wings
Later I whisper forbidden things
You just needed a push to hasten your fall
My privilege to sound the siren's call
Ghost like me
Fall from grace
Fall from grace
Fall from grace

O Diva
Hyperestis
Artificial negligence
Try to ignore her elegance
Your locus of control
Is subject to her pull
Leaving her cold
Is getting old
She has the grace to let you win
But you're too diseased to let her in
She's lost but she knows the way through
She knows who she is and what she means to you
You think you have the higher ground
But you don't even have a clue
O Diva, she wastes her love on you
It's the same justification
When you withhold admiration
This thing you do
Has never worked for you
Her head's on straight and she knows the score
Everyone wants her but you're such a bore
You aren't being smart, When you pick her apart
She's lost but she knows the way through
She knows who she is and what she means to you
You think have her pulse
But you really haven't a clue
Oh Diva, her song is not for you
She's lost but she knows the way through
She knows who she is and what she means to you
You think you have the higher ground
But you don't even have a clue
O Diva, she wastes her love on you

Your Contact
Hyperestis
Your contact
Your eyes meeting mine
Communicate our contract
How you left me behind
You tell me where I stand
I could twitch and eyelid
To speak my demand
But you couldn't understand
You want me in my place
Stitched-up lips across my face
You haven't any mercy
And you haven't any grace
Eye contact
But I see you're just a stone?
I saw you there with her
But we both know you're alone
3:48
I'm Eternal
Hyperestis
Your face is flushed
And your behavior is erratic
You can't hide your blush
Because it's automatic
We're going to collide
Like oncoming traffic
So why not drop the act
Try to accept the fact
I'm magnetic
You're kinetic
This is going to hurt
But we won't forget it
Eyes dilate
Limbs exsanguinate
These things happen
When you stay out late
Bored with the dance
Impatient with romance
I want to feel you on me
I want to feel you on me
I'm eternal
Nocturnal
And you've kept me waiting
Long enough
3:47
Charm Offensive
Hyperestis
Left me alone
No friends of my own
So I'll take whatever remains
Scraps, debris, and stains
Charm offensive
I'll win your friends with my smile
Watch me seduce and beguile
Charm offensive
Watch out, this will get expensive
They have me on their speed dial
Because I drip with class and style
Gave me no choice
Left me here, I've lost my voice
But your girl loves the way I sing
I hope you feel my sting
You're so defensive
But my care is intensive
Can't share my love with you
So here's what I plan to do
Charm offensive
Last night was so festive
Danced with your friends all night
Made them doubt if your head is right
Charm offensive
I'll win your friends with my smile
Watch me seduce and beguile
Charm offensive
Watch out, this will get expensive
They have me on their speed dial
Because I drip with class and style
