[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Crawl to me
Candle smoke, cracked knees
You signed in your own tongue
Now bleed the ink for me
[Verse 1]
I am Nyx
Older than your first thought of fear
Dripping from the corners of the sky
Black crown, star shards in my hair
You came
Cheap suit, burnt trust on your breath
Dragging all your promises in chains
Begging me to bargain with your death
You laid your heart
On a stone gone cold from prayers
I carved my name across your ribs
Every letter digging lairs
Your pulse twitched
When my teeth kissed your spine
You said “take everything I am”
I said “you’re already mine”
[Chorus]
You sold your soul to the jaws of the night
I consummate the dark in the wound of your light
You gave your breath, now your bones are my throne
You’re screaming “save me” in a house I own
You sold your soul, now you drown in my sea
You vanish in the black that is me
[Verse 2]
You want power?
Drink ash, taste rust on your tongue
I lace your veins with my shadow
Now every heartbeat drums my song
I peel your mask
Silk skin, raw nerve underneath
I stitch my hunger to your hands
Now every touch spreads my disease
On your knees
You confess to a god made of glass
I crush the halo in your eyes
Make you worship every crack
Your spine snaps
To the rhythm of command
I lace your fingers with my claws
Guide your reach across the land
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I was a contract
I am an empire of teeth
You thought you could escape me
But I am the dark you breathe
[Chorus]
You sold your soul to the jaws of the night
I consummate the dark in the wound of your light
You gave your breath, now your bones are my throne
You’re screaming “save me” in a house I own
You sold your soul, now you drown in my sea
You vanish in the black that is me
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Feel my fingers in your chest cavity
Pulling out the faith like thread
Every vow you ever muttered to the sun
I burn and feed it to the dead
[guttural screams]
I brand your dreams
I chain your sleep
I slit your hope
Let the shadows drink deep
[Chorus]
