Mine In The Dark

I learned your name like a sacred sin

Soft little angel with poison within

White dress hiding the storm in my chest

Smiling sweet while I dream of the rest

You walk in silence, the room obeys

Men step aside when you shift your gaze

They fear the devil behind your smile

I fell in love

With that side

You think I tremble when you get close

But I’m just hiding what I want most

I want your danger, I want your sins

The blood on the throne that you’re sitting in

Every dark thing they say you’ve done

Just makes me want to be the one

I want your nights, your violent hands

The way the whole world bends to command

You built your kingdom cold and cruel

But I belong

Next to you

I used to dream like a harmless girl

Flowers and ribbons, a softer world

But you walked in like a loaded gun

Now all my prayers come undone

I watch the way that the power moves

Every secret that follows you

They call you ruthless, sharp and divine

But in my mind

You’re already mine

Maybe I was light before

Maybe I believed in pure

But angels lose their wings in hell

And loving you

Did it so well

So take the halo from my head

Trade it for diamonds and crimson red

Let them whisper the things we are

Two dark hearts

In the dark

I don’t want heaven anymore

I want the throne

And your war
