Lost in the swarm deteriorating with the bset of them But every sweet breath Breathes the question Will you be too cold to hold my hand? Or will you just let go? I know when you say forever it's like broken glass on your velvet voice Tear a hole in forever and die in your arms So I invite you to walk the fire Burn your beautiful fingers Pierce this delicate skin Arms tied behind your back Torch this fucking town Burn every memory Burn it down And let the ashes dry your tears Redemption Ignite this wretched monument With unwavering stride We will leave it all behind in a beacon of flames If for one precious moment I could rest my tired eyes on you In this bellicose world my eyes are blurred and you're all I see Let the past be forgotten The years have worn our hearts callous Standing before you impoverished All I am For you I would seize the knife Lay down this white cloth and offer my veins Distill the life in me But still every dying gasp breathes the question Will you be too cold to hold my hand? Will you just let go? I know when you say forever it's like broken glass on your velvet voice A cold dead center The stale air infects our lungs And I find myself drawn to the flames of your last irresistible blaze Signs that as long as I'm breathing I'm yours Diseased by imperfection my hope
