Decay

Night gathers me piece by piece
Black silk through my veins, wine on my lips
A delicate shiver, a quiet fracture
I've learned to walk straight through the wall
You look at me like I'm nothing but waste
But I divide my heart with you half and half

And don't try to save me, I'm beautiful right now
Don't call on my name, I've long been behind you

And don't try to save me, I'm beautiful right now
Don't call on my name, I've long been behind you

I'm beautiful right now...

My heart is made of passion and frost
I burn without screaming, without no, without yes
I'm like dark water under thin glass
If you touch it, you will stay inside it, oh
I'm like slow poison in silver and gold
I do not die, I only grow more beautiful in the cold

And I am the one, I am almost beyond saving
I will remain someone's quarry
Caught in their net

A step like a ritual, a breath like a noose
Someone inside me still loves you

Too much light for such a death
Too much light in this aftertaste, oh

I'm like slow poison in silver and gold
I do not die, I only grow more beautiful in the cold
And I am the one, I am almost beyond saving
I will remain someone's music and someone's blood

Give me the night all around and light like a bell
Give me the pain, I will pass through it and disappear into the distance
Give me a voice cold as the blade of a dream
I do not ask to stay alive, I ask to sound like a string
