Verse 1
You came to me like a dying prayer
A shadow wrapped in midnight air
Your silver gaze cut through my soul
Like you already knew every broken part I hide below
The stars were trembling overhead
Like heaven feared the words we never said
And every breath between our lips
Felt like the start of another apocalypse
Pre-Chorus
I know your touch
Like a scar I can’t erase
Like every road through every life
Was only leading me to this place
Chorus
We are the curse beneath our skin
The darkness no one else could live within
Not holy, not innocent, not saved
But something eternity itself could never break
And every time the worlds collapse
I still come crawling back
No matter how the story ends
You are the ruin I would choose again
Verse 2
Your wings unfolded in the storm
Black as death, but somehow warm
You held me like I was divine
Like losing me would destroy your mind
And somewhere in the endless night
I watched your demons kneel beside the light
Like even monsters learned to pray
The moment you whispered my name
Pre-Chorus
You looked at me
Like I was the last thing keeping you alive
And for one heartbeat
I forgot how to survive without you by my side
Chorus
We are the curse beneath our skin
The darkness no one else could live within
Not holy, not innocent, not saved
But something eternity itself could never break
And every time the worlds collapse
I still come crawling back
No matter how the story ends
You are the ruin I would choose again
Bridge
If loving you destroys me
Then let the heavens watch me fall
Because I would rather drown in your darkness
Than never feel your touch at all
Final Chorus
We are the curse beneath our skin
Bound together by every deadly thing
Through every death, through every war
I will still be yours
And when the stars forget to shine
When time itself leaves us behind
I’ll find you somewhere in the end
And choose our ruin once again
