In a room where the rain can’t reach Only your scent is breathing Blood on the stone in the pouring rain I ran too far to say my name Your cold hand found my fevered skin And all my fear went quiet within You said, “It’s alright” Like a prayer in the dark But something soft and poisonous Started blooming in my heart I have to leave I tell myself again But pale smoke covers Every road ahead Breathe in Sink down Don’t leave Not now In your sandalwood cage I keep watching you Is this salvation Or a curse coming true? Your golden eyes Pull me under the night When you whisper, “Not yet” I forget how to fight Sweet smoke Slow hands Gold eyes No end I want to run But I search for your voice Every breath I take Makes me a little more yours No moon at the window No sound through the walls Only old books sleeping Where your silence falls You never ask me What I used to be But the way you look through me Feels like you already see Where is the door? Where is the way? Even my questions Fade away Your voice is low My pulse is weak I lose the words Before I speak In your sandalwood cage I keep watching you Is this salvation Or a curse coming true? Your gentle hands Turn soft into chains And I say your name Like I’m asking to stay Sweet smoke Slow hands Gold eyes No end I want to run But I search for your voice Every breath I take Makes me a little more yours You don’t know what I am I don’t know what you hide Still your cold hand on my pulse Makes me feel alive Breathe in Sink down Don’t leave Not now Breathe in Sink down I’m yours Somehow In your sandalwood cage I keep watching you Maybe salvation And a curse are both true Your golden eyes Close around the light When you whisper, “Stay here” I stop reaching outside I wanted to run But the rain feels far away Only your scent remains And I forget my name Sweet smoke Slow hands Gold eyes No end Only your scent remains And it becomes my world
