Lygophilia

If you choose to do so 
Walk down the path of fire.
Let desire
swallow you whole
And make a deal
with every devil
that offers you a ride 
as you hitchhike to your own
personal hell
But there’s something 
you need to sell
to those horned men first.

If you choose to do so
Stay in the dark
Because you can’t see 
what hurts you 
Or you’re just 
the new moon’s lover
Stay, stay, stay.

As long as you’re staying with me.
