[Intro]The moon is a spotlight she won’t let me reach. I could snap it like twigs, I could howl down the sun, but she whispers one word and the damage is done. She stands in the doorway, a darkness so slight, yet she swallows the powers of the oncoming blight. the earth starts to shake, not from her power, but the choices that I make.
[Verse 1]She calls it a mercy to keep me this small, She doesn't use silver, she doesn't use salt, just uses her prowess and calls it my fault. She sips at my pride with a delicate grace, while I learn to find comfort in my own disgrace. She traces every scar that she provides, then carves out new ones on my insides. I am a storm of battle, a wolf in a black sheeps vest!
[Chorus] She’s the ice sown deep into marrow, the rot in my bones, I’m the king of the forest , yet here I stand alone! She drinks from the spirit, she feeds on the fear, the only thing louder than my howl is her sneer. It’s a Chain made of ego, a Choker of pride, with a monster screaming to me - take them outside! She’s the silence that follows the coldness of winter, and the death of the pact.
[Verse 2]I wake up with stitches I don't remember, in a velvet-lined coffin, - She says, - Look at you, darling, so clumsy and loud, a beast in a suit, just a dog in a crowd. - She grooms me with insults, she pets me with lies, I see my own extinction reflected in her eyes. I have forgotten the scent of the pine, traded my kingdom for the length of time. She files down my talons and polishes my teeth, then ignores the primordial hunger just beneath.
[Chorus]She’s the ice sown deep into marrow, the rot in my bones, I’m the king of the forest , yet here I stand alone! She drinks from the spirit, she feeds on the fear, the only thing louder than my howl is her sneer. It’s a Chain made of ego, a Choker of pride, with a monster screaming to me - take them outside! She’s the silence that follows the coldness of winter, and the death of the pact! (Blegh!)
[Bridge] The only thing i know is death! Strip the meek! Break the weak! Forget the moon! She’s the law you need! She’s the pleasure! I’m the pain! Break the spirit! Snap the spine! Everything you own is mine! - Your the cage! - But Im the key! - Im the lord of the fallen, that part of God, you could never hope be!
[Verse 3]The walls are all mirrors so I can’t look away, from the hollow-eyed creature she’s molded from betray. I try to remember the taste of a heart, as she picks my identity slowly apart. She’s the queen of my eternal abyss, sealing my fate with each hollowed kiss. It’s a gravity heavier than iron or stone, the absolute terror of a fate like being together but forever alone!
[Outro] The moon is coming up, yet I’m looking at the floor. I don’t remember who I was before, you locked that door. I’m a masterpiece from misery, a trophy for your Disasterpiece. I’ve become the very thing that’s afraid of itself. Lead & leash. Lead & leash. Come back from the dead once youve found some peace!
