[Verse 1]
You traced a circle
On my chest like a brand
Said
"Every little hunger
Is a promise I can bend"
Candles on the carpet
Wax on my hands
You named every craving
Like you’d rehearsed the plan
[Chorus]
Kiss me in the fire
Make my halo melt away
Take my tired little soul
I was gonna waste it anyway
Wrap me in your poison
Call it love
I’ll call it fate
If this is how I’m damned
I’ll thank you while I fade (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You poured red on the altar
Called it wine
Called it truth
Whispered all the pretty reasons
I should never leave this room
Pride on your tongue
Greed in your eyes
Every sin a vow
Every vow another lie
[Chorus]
Kiss me in the fire
Make my halo melt away
Take my tired little soul
I was gonna waste it anyway
Wrap me in your poison
Call it love
I’ll call it fate
If this is how I’m damned
I’ll thank you while I fade
[Bridge]
All my guilt
Laid down at your feet
You said
"There’s nothing wrong
With wanting everything"
So take my fear
Take my final prayer
Just leave your mark
So I know you were there (yeah)
[Chorus]
Kiss me in the fire
Make my halo melt away
Take my tired little soul
I was gonna waste it anyway
Wrap me in your poison
Call it love
I’ll call it fate
If this is how I’m damned
I’ll thank you while I fade
(I’ll thank you while I fade)
