Gold in my hands Cold against my skin Every little turn says Let me in I know it’s a door I know what waits behind it Still... I turn it. Six sides hiding something older Lines like scars across the frame Every movement pulls me closer Like the fucking thing knows my name I wanted answers I wanted more Something beyond this flesh and bone Then all the walls began unfolding And I realized... I wasn’t alone. Hooks in the dark Chains overhead Something is breathing Where nothing should live I asked for the doorway They answered instead. I OPENED THE BOX NOW THE BOX OPENS ME PULLING APART EVERYTHING I USED TO BE PAIN BECOMES PLEASURE PLEASURE BECOMES PAIN ONCE YOU FIND THE LABYRINTH YOU DON’T COME BACK THE SAME Turn it Twist it Hear the mechanism sing Every little movement Pulls another string Leather shadows through the doorway Chrome reflecting candlelight Human once, or something like it Beautiful in all the ways that shouldn’t feel right No anger No mercy No heaven underneath Just perfect little instruments Designed to make you scream. There is no devil No saving grace Only desire Given a face I begged them to stop They asked why I came. I OPENED THE BOX NOW THE BOX OPENS ME PULLING APART EVERYTHING I USED TO BE PAIN BECOMES PLEASURE PLEASURE BECOMES PAIN ONCE YOU FIND THE LABYRINTH YOU DON’T COME BACK THE SAME Some doors are locked... Because somebody loved you enough To keep them closed. But curiosity has fingers. Desire has teeth. And somewhere beyond the walls... Something heard me. CHAIN BY CHAIN HOOK BY HOOK SHOULD’VE NEVER TOUCHED THAT FUCKING BOX FLESH TO ART BONE TO FRAME I WENT LOOKING FOR HEAVEN AND HELL KNEW MY NAME I OPENED THE BOX NOW THE BOX OPENS ME THERE’S NOTHING LEFT OF WHO I USED TO BE PAIN BECOMES PLEASURE PLEASURE BECOMES PAIN I FOUND WHAT LIVES BEYOND THE FLESH AND NOW... IT WANTS ME TO STAY Gold in my hands... Cold against my skin... Someone else will open it again.
