[Verse 1]
You draw a circle on my wrist
Say
"Stand here
Inside this little promise
I’ll keep you near"
Quiet kitchen
Ceramic on the sink
You laugh
You miss the handle
Shatter
And you blink
[Verse 2]
You talk of angels like old friends
So casual
The way you say my given name
Feels ritual
Your fingers in my collar
Like a prayer
You ask if I can feel it
"I’m almost there"
[Chorus]
I am your altar
Are you my knife?
Cut through the sugar
Show me the spine of this life
I am your altar
Are you my sin?
Lay all your ghosts on my chest
And breathe them in
[Verse 3]
Half-light leaking through the blinds
Your voice
Low
You trace a line across my throat
Say
"Let it go"
Cup of coffee going cold
On the floor
You press your forehead into mine
"Do you want more?"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[louder
Drums entering]
Heartbeat staggered
Like it’s learned a different time
Your eyes roll back
Finding someone else’s sky
Teeth on my shoulder
You’re speaking in reverse
Every tender little promise
Turning into curse
[guitars surge
Sub swells]
You say
"Fall with me
Fall with me
Fall with me
Down"
[Breakdown]
[low vocal register
Heavy guitars]
If I give you every weakness
Will you wear my skin?
If I hand you every secret
Will you crawl inside and spin?
Breath on my earlobe
"Don’t move
Don’t move"
You pull the floor from under
And call it truth
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[half-time groove
Massive guitars and sub]
Say my name like you’re loading a gun
Slow
Say my name like you’re swallowing sun
Glow
[huge guitar solo]
[guitar solo]
[guitar solo
Drums and sub at full tilt]
[whispered vocals under solo]
You drew a circle on my wrist
I stepped in
You said
"This will only hurt
When it begins"
