lyrics

Hanging on your every word
I question your intention
Crawling in my skin
Found me in my dreams again
Fingers tipping, fingers dripping
To touch blood rich with prosperity
Crawling in my skin
Have the nerve to care
Ruined another beautiful thing
I hear your voice calling me
Back from the edge again

The things that bound us broke us
I don’t believe in burying the dead
I had to push you to the edge
To one fate we’ve all been told
I couldn’t tell you how alone I was
I cuddle up to tears that spell and lift stoic curses
Wise as a serpent
Harmless as a dove
Amongst the wolves
The fox found the tiger
The glass girl

Looking through you
Even Satan was an angel too
For the shadows growing inside me
When the world comes to bury me
I cuddle up to tears that spell and lift stoic curses
Wise as a serpent
Can’t your skin
Hold us both
I desire
Keep me close
Why can’t your skin hold us both?
Keep me to yourself, black halo

You could wrap it in magic
You could make it shine
I’d rather bathe in your eyes
I only dance in the ballroom of your eyes
Meager do I satisfy
Electric, ticking like dynamite
To explode and sharpen your eyes
Into pieces so you can fly
And it’s quiet in the air cracking a new moon

The things that bound us broke us
I don’t believe in burying the dead
I had to push you to the edge
To one fate we’ve all been told
I couldn’t tell you how alone I was
I cuddle up to tears that spell and lift stoic curses
Wise as a serpent
Harmless as a dove
Amongst the wolves
The fox found the tiger
The glass girl

Looking through you
Even Satan was an angel too
For the shadows growing inside me
When the world comes to bury me
I cuddle up to tears that spell and lift stoic curses
Wise as a serpent
I tried to make a masterpiece quietly
But I only made myself the enemy
Can’t your skin hold us both
I desire, keep me close
Why can’t your skin hold us both?
Keep me to yourself, black halo

To see you undone by the Gods of night
Lusher than a dream, this brings deliberation
Falling for the quiet striking
Rapture, a new paradise
Strange works, wrung for all I’m worth
I cried myself out
It’s you who fantasizes
Stealing heat
I’d rather bathe in your eyes
Electric, ticking like dynamite
You get me high, you leave me wet
I don’t volunteer but am willing to reciprocate

Pocketed nostalgia
My own strength
And I’m shining so bright
I’m blinding
For the shadows growing inside me
I’d rather bathe in your eyes
Electric, ticking like dynamite
