Confessions Lyrics by James Arthur

Sins by the Sea

2011

(Verse 1)
I've got a problem, and it's serious
I don't wanna bare my exterior
I just wanna be mysterious
So I don't give these people anything to discuss
They ask me why I always walk with my eyes to my feet
I simply say, "I've got some demons that I'd like to defeat"
But since you always want to know what's happening
Here a few of my confessions, are you ready for this?

(Chorus)
Yes, I'm a cheat
Yes, I'm a liar
And yes, I'm a victim of desire
So give me your flesh, 'cause I'm a carnivore

(Verse 2)
Come take a swing at me, I dare you
I might not be strong, but I can scare you
With all of this venom dripping from my tongue
And I've just begun to reveal to reveal my darkest secrets
I'm not like you, yes I could keep them
But as I explode, I feel I've lost all the weight
And it feels great to release this sandstone feeling
Look at my skin, it shed, it's peeling
You should be afraid of what is underneath
'Cause I know it don't want peace
No, I know it don't want peace
And I know it just won't sleep
And it looks just like me

(Bridge)
Oh, what you gonna say about me now?
What you gonna say about me now?
The demons are coming
The demons are coming
What you gonna say about me now?
What you gonna say about me now?
The demons are coming
The demons...

(Chorus)
Yes, I'm a cheat
Yes, I'm a liar
Yes, I'm a victim of desire
So give me your flesh, 'cause I'm a carnivore
