[Verse 1]
You taste like closing doors
Like secrets under floors
You say my name
Like a dare
Like a wound
Like a warning
Black dress
Bare feet on glass
You ask if this can last
I say forever
Or at least until the morning
[Chorus]
I would burn the world down for you
Watch it falling
Turning gold in the fire (oh)
I would tear heaven out of the sky
Just to lay it at your side
My desire
Give me ash
Give me sin
I choose you again and again
I would burn the world down for you
And smile while it caves in
[Verse 2]
You say you don't want safe
You crave a sharper faith
Something cruel
Something carved in the shape of your hunger
You trace a haloed lie
Across my throat
Then sigh
"Would you follow
If I only led you under?"
[Chorus]
I would burn the world down for you
Watch it falling
Turning gold in the fire (yeah)
I would tear heaven out of the sky
Just to lay it at your side
My desire
Give me ash
Give me sin
I choose you again and again
I would burn the world down for you
And smile while it caves in
[Bridge]
Eve waits in gardens
Counting every rule
Lilith lights the matches
Laughing like a jewel
You ask
"Which one am I?"
I pull you closer
Say
"I want the one who'd rather reign
Where the angels stay away" (oh)
[Chorus]
I would burn the world down for you
Watch it falling
Turning gold in the fire
I would tear heaven out of the sky
Just to lay it at your side
My desire (my desire)
Give me ash
Give me sin
I choose you again and again (again)
I would burn the world down for you
And call it love
As it caves in
