Slaves of Pleasure - Ien Oblique

There are hundreds of people out this evening

But I’m sitting here all alone

My expectation got the better of me

I’m not as spiked as I was an hour ago

The magnetism the synergism

I’m too tired to play anymore

This game is too long, this game is so wrong

But this particular trap

Leaves me wanting for more

The slaves of pleasure bring me here tonight

They’ve pushed me in the crowd and labored in my mind

Shoving drink after drink in my hands in my mouth

Painting pictures of heaven and bringing colors to sounds

Where the corners of the room mesh with the edge of my soul

I’m blind as they lead me to their castles of gold

Spinning way too fast but moving much too slow

I’ve done whatever they ask, they’ve taken me home

I’m tanked up turned on and cold

But I’m comfortable with this

It maybe too easy and a bit sad

But I’ll take the risk

I’ll jeopardize it all

With the kings and the queens of fun

Answer that voice inside your heart

And take your place on my throne

The slaves of pleasure bring me here tonight

They’ve pushed me in the crowd and labored in my mind

Shoving drink after drink in my hands in my mouth

Painting pictures of heaven and bringing colors to sounds

Where the corners of the room mesh with the edge of my soul

I’m blind as they lead me to their castles of gold

Spinning way too fast but moving much too slow

I’ve done whatever they ask, so they’ve taken me home
