The Worm In The Apple

[Verse 1] I watch you through the glass I know when you are alone You are my specimen I want your blood in jars I trace your pulse in silence Through shadows on the wall Each breath you take I catalogue I’ve memorised them all Your footsteps draw the gridlines Of cages yet to build I label every shiver The way a hunter would [Chorus 1] But I'm the worm In the apple This is my controlled havoc I'm in your stomach [Verse 2] I don't care if it hurts I want to live inside I want your perfect body I want in your skin I’ll peel the hours open Till the light bleeds through your seams Every nerve I catalogue I’ll wear your trembling dreams I’ll trade my breath for yours now Let the boundaries dissolve Till there’s only one remaining And it’s me that you evolve [Chorus 2] But I'm the rot In the wooden frame Don't let me be the one you fear I will destroy here [Bridge] You're trying to escape You are running You are limping Now you're crawling Crawl crawl crawl crawl [Verse 3] Whatever makes you tremble Whatever you hide You're so fucking shiny I want you petrified I’ll cradle every secret Till it screams inside my palm Your fear is such sweet silver I could polish it to calm I want your eyes wide open Like a moth pinned under glass Heartbeat loud as church bells But the ringing never lasts [Special Chorus] You call it love, this slow invasion This quiet bloom beneath your skin I'm the fungus claiming your cathedral Turning sacred pink to sin [Outro] You’ll be my quiet altar My most exquisite reel Shining, terrified, eternal Exactly how I feel [End]
