[Verse 1]
Velvet on my tongue
Midnight in your name
You look at me like
I’m already changed
Your hands say stay
Your mouth says go
I’m caught in the fire
Under your cloak
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe... let’s die a little, baby
Just enough to feel the blade
Maybe... let’s die a little, baby
In a sweet, slow, burning way
[Chorus]
La petite mort
La petite mort
What is it worth?
What is it worth?
All it takes
Is a little taste
Let’s pass away
While we sway
[Verse 2]
A kiss like smoke
On a candle’s thread
I hear my pulse
In the sheets of red
You laugh like sin
I answer back
We leave our names
In the darkened glass
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe... let’s die a little, baby
Just enough to feel the blade
Maybe... let’s die a little, baby
In a sweet, slow, burning way
[Chorus]
La petite mort
La petite mort
What is it worth?
What is it worth?
All it takes
Is a little taste
Let’s pass away
While we sway
[Bridge]
If heaven waits
Let it wait outside
I want your hands
And the fall tonight
One last breath
Then we begin
A little death
And back again
[Chorus]
La petite mort
La petite mort
What is it worth?
What is it worth?
All it takes
Is a little taste
Let’s pass away
While we sway
