[Verse 1]
She carves a halo in the ash on my floor
Black nails
Cracked lips
Asking
"How many hearts did you bring me this time?"
I laugh
Say "None" and her teeth start flashing
[Pre-Chorus]
Posters peeling off these poisoned walls
Our little kingdom built on bathroom stalls
She says
"They forget us
We vanish in smoke"
Pulls me closer by the collar like a joke
[Chorus]
Me and my dark angel
She loves me
But if we don’t get more people
We’ll go away
If the crowd stops screaming our secret
We just fade
We just fade
We just fade
[Verse 2]
She feeds on secrets in the back of the club
Eyes rolling white when the bass drum hits
Counts every sinner like a rosary bead
Smears my name down her throat
Says "Commit"
[Pre-Chorus]
Every empty seat’s a countdown tick
Every quiet night cuts one more brick
From the altar where we carved our names
"Bring them in
" she spits
"or we’re erased"
[Chorus]
Me and my dark angel
She loves me
But if we don’t get more people
We’ll go away
If the crowd stops screaming our secret
We just fade
We just fade
We just fade
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
What are we if they turn away?
Just two ghosts in a burned-out frame
Her voice in my ear
"You were made for the flame"
[crescendo]
So I drag more souls to the front row line
Let the room catch fire when our worlds collide
[Chorus]
Me and my dark angel
She loves me
But if we don’t get more people
We’ll go away
If the crowd stops screaming our secret
We just fade
We just fade
We just fade
[Chorus]
