lyrics

Tears float on mirrors, I watch them dripping as I scry beneath your kestrel eyes.
I'll pin you by your frame, keep you with your nails and name, I've not forgotten what I know.
In tranquility, I begged and you came after me with senses never slaked, hexed by your mistake.
I cited vicious rites, visions at my bedside.
These signs overflow.
Glimpsing all you also summon, vengeful spectres humming.

I sold my soul to pray for this, I told you I could conjure it
Carved initials in the dark, all desire leaves a mark.

There is no faith that from your spirit I'll escape but if I'm going down both of us will drown.
So draw the cards, ask them what we are, and who will stumble first, which ambition's worse.
Now we dissolve the light, running for an afterlife like one we wasted when we made this.

Each splinter in your fist, night-blooming bruises come because my sorrow still exists.
Insane as you've been driven, will you say your sin should be forgiven?

A last resort, the ruptured rapture swooning as it dies.
No one saves us from the flood this damned love justifies.

I give up, I give in. The darkness in us now will always win.
