I've got sleeping monsters in me
Sleeping, but they're hungry
When they first caught scent
Of your warm blood
They stirred and growled and bristled
But I calmed them down
Convinced them you were
Nothing but a fantasy
I sang them back to sleep
Promised fresh meat
If they'd behave…
But babe, if you keep taunting them
By opening your veins
And spilling fragrant, lusty crimson
On their pillows as they dream
Those eyes will snap awake
Those teeth will gnash
Those claws will tear through me
And lullabies, crooned soothingly
Won't stop them from devouring you
Enraged in their captivity
And powerful with famine
So please…
… don't tease.
