[Verse 1]
Burnt-out candles on the floor
Wax like tears
Dripping down your name
On my skin in crooked letters
You say “run”
But you lock the door
Every warning
Written in your smile like venom
[Pre-Chorus]
Your breath
A vow along my throat
You pull me closer
Closer
Every halo that I wore
Falls and shatters on your shoulder
[Chorus]
This is our blood pact in velvet shadows
Kiss me at the edge of the gallows
I know you’ll be the death of me
But I still say please
Lost in the curse of your broken halo
If we are damned then I don’t want grace
No
Tie my heart to your darkest need
Let the ruin bleed
[Verse 2]
Midnight roses in your fist
Every thorn
Pressed into my palm
You call it proof that I am chosen
Church bells tremble in the fog
Silent now
While we cross that line
Glass beneath our feet keeps singing
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hand
A knife against my faith
You trace my sins in circles
Every promise that you break
Feels like scripture in a circle
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I turn away
Will the ghosts let go of me?
If I say your name
Will the sky split open
Bleed?
[crescendo]
So carve your oath along my ribs (along my ribs)
Let every scar spell out your will (your will)
If this is wrong
Then let it stay
Let it stay
Until we’re still
[Chorus]
