Bite The Stars Out Of Me

Bite me, bite me, bite me, bite me…

Bite me, bite me, bite me, bite me…

(Closer… don’t let the sun find us.)

⸻

As she waits at dawn, looking for a way

To escape the bones her heart became.

Let them swallow you — but not tonight,

Not while I’m the shadow clinging to your light.

I won’t fall down, you still need me,

We don’t follow crowds — we teach them how to breathe.

I’m not done, believe me, you’re still mine,

We make the world bend when you take my spine.

⸻

Eat my heart, take my soul, let it burn you through.

What’s on my mind? Nothing human, nothing new.

I’m the farthest gone you’ll ever find —

So tear your way into my mind.

(Take my mind… take my mind…)

⸻

I won’t let them swallow you,

I won’t let them hollow you.

We don’t settle down — we make them move,

Make them choke on what we grew.

Bite me ’til the stars fall through,

Bite me ’til I turn into you.

If heaven breaks, we’ll split it too —

I won’t let them, I repent them,

I won’t let them swallow you.

⸻

And when the ice sets in, I’ll need you,

If only when we met, we knew you

Would carve your name into my fate —

And I would follow through the gates.

Far beyond the stars, we flew forever,

Tell myself I lost my soul for you —

Go thereafter, see you never,

But you know I’ll chase you through whatever.

You should let me go — (I’m not worth saving)

But you still hold on — (your hands still shaking)

Let them carry on — let them swallow you,

But you won’t save me too…

(I won’t let them swallow you.)

⸻

Make them mine…

Make them mine…

Make them fall where our shadows align.

If I vanish in your night,

Will you bury me or bite?

Will you follow through the ice?

Will you break the afterlife?

⸻

I won’t let them swallow you,

Not the lies, not the light, not the truth.

If mercy dies, we’ll kill it too —

Cigarette scars on the sky we bruise.

Bite me ’til the stars fall through,

Bite me ’til eternity blooms.

If heaven was a saint, we’d tear it in two —

I won’t let them, I repent them,

I won’t let them swallow you.

⸻

Bite me, bite me…

When the ice sets in…

I’ll still find you…

Far beyond the stars…

(I won’t let them swallow you.)
