Blasphemy

Verse 1

I found god in the shape of your shadow

Kneeling where your footsteps fade

Trading every sacred thing I’ve ever known

For the privilege of hearing you say my name

The saints can keep their halos

The faithful can keep their light

I only ever needed one altar

And she’s asleep beside me tonight

⸻

Pre-Chorus

They call devotion holy

Until it looks like this

⸻

Chorus

If the end of the world stood between us

I’d become the end of the world

Drag the stars down one by one

And wear their ashes like a crown

Let them call me villain

Let them sharpen every blade

I’d rather be damned beside you

Than worship heaven from a grave

⸻

Verse 2

You move through me like a haunting

Like a hunger stitched into bone

Now every room feels desecrated

The moment I’m left there alone

Because you’ve become the measure

For everything I touch

And nothing in creation

Has ever felt enough

⸻

Pre-Chorus

They want love to be selfless

Mine never learned how

⸻

Chorus

If the end of the world stood between us

I’d become the end of the world

Tear the gates from paradise

And salt the gardens of the gods

Let them call me monster

Let them curse my every breath

I’d choose you over all creation

Every time until my death

⸻

Bridge

What is a kingdom

Compared to your heartbeat?

What is salvation

Compared to your touch?

What is eternity

If I have to spend it

Knowing I lost you

For someone else’s miracle?

No

Let the miracle die

⸻

Final Chorus

If they place the world upon one scale

And your hand inside the other

They already know my answer

I’ve never hidden it

I’ve never wanted glory

I’ve never wanted grace

I only ever wanted

To be the place

You come home to
