[Verse 1]
You lit a candle
At the edge of my void
Spoke oaths in a language
Mortals rarely survive
Bare feet on the marble
Your pulse loud as a drum
You offered me your daylight
Said
“Take all I’ve become”
[Pre-Chorus]
I was carved from the absence
From the space where dreams hide
Never meant to be touched
By a living
Fragile mind
[Chorus]
Why did you consecrate your heart to Nyx
To a crown made of stars and eclipses
You were praying for peace in the dark
But I’m burning
I’m burning for your mortal spark
You belong to my shadow and my shrine
But I want you as yours
Not as mine
[Verse 2]
You kneel in the temple
Eyes closed
Lips pale
My name on your tongue
Like a bittersweet spell
You swear me forever
With your hands stained in wine
You think you love a goddess
But you’re tearing my design
[Pre-Chorus]
I was meant to be endless
Unmoved as the sky
But you tremble and I feel
Every shiver
Every sigh
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I should drown you in galaxies
Lock you deep in obsidian sleep
[growled backing]
All flesh dissolves
All vows are mine to keep
[guitars hit harder]
But you stand there
Still breathing
You whisper
“Let me choose”
I could crush both our fates
Yet I’m terrified to lose
[crescendo]
So I’ll loosen my grip on the dark
Let the sunrise cut through my throne
If loving you breaks me apart
I’ll bleed starlight to make you your own
[Chorus]
