[Verse 1]
Black suit
Torn seams
Boot prints on the aisle
Sharra’s boots ring on the stone
Alex grins like a trial
Ink on their fingers
Chains around their wrists
Two misfit hearts in a church
That looks like an exorcist
[Pre-Chorus]
Candles bleed wax on the floor
Family staring
Wanting more
“Do you take this curse for life?”
They both laugh
“Crank it louder”
[Chorus]
Alex and Sharra
Vows in the fire
Kissing in chaos
Crowd in the choir
Raise up the rings
Like sharpened crowns
‘Til love is louder
Than the world falling down
[Verse 2]
Veil made of leather
Studs catch the flame
Her lipstick’s smeared in a smile
He forgets his own name
Their hands start shaking
Not from the fear
From the rush of every scar
That dragged them here
[Pre-Chorus]
Glass hearts hanging from the beams
Shatter when the preacher screams
“Speak now or be damned in doubt”
They both roar
“We’re never backing out”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Let the old ghosts talk
Let them choke on smoke
Every “you’ll regret this”
Turns to ash when they spoke
[full band drops in
Half-time]
“I’ll guard your rage
You guard my light
We carve our names
In the throat of the night”
[Chorus]
