lyrics

So good to see you
I’d say to enter
But I will be see through
If its not your terms
Cause I am not equal
I was just a word
You write nice I scribble
It’s fine because it works

You split a candle and it opened to reveal
ever evil thing that you said you’d never done

My great wings spread for all of you to see
I left a gift affixed underneath your cheeks and your tongue
Oh how you traveled bloody seas just to find you were arriving at the place that you’d just come from
Subtle crucifix you sneak in a bible
By your feet that are
Slit beneath me sweet and unsung
Two nights I left you bleached underneath the the space i sleep
And I find it gives a peaceful numb

When I re-meet you
You speak with no words
I’m dying to teach you
All about this course
How I have seen legions
Fall at your fortress
Yet somehow its me who
Sits inches from your cure

Can you handle what you’ve open to reveal every evil thing that you said you ever loved?

My great wings spread for all of you to see
I left a gift affixed underneath your cheeks and your tongue
Oh how you traveled bloody seas just to find you were arriving at the place that you’d just come from
Subtle crucifix you sneak in a bible
By your feet that are
Slit beneath me sweet and unsung
Two nights I left you bleached underneath the open sea
So that I could find a peaceful numb

Stay here with me
Die before the morning
Come and lay here with me
Don’t delay a moment further
Wait and you’ll see
I’m who you’ve been looking for
Just give up to me
Your open hand and bleed some more
