The Beast's Lament (Lycos)

[Verse 1] I wore a mouth of velvet teeth To kiss the edge of your name I came in through the cracked red door And nothing left me the same Your eyes were a locked-up room Your pulse like a buried drum I knew you from the first cold glance I knew what you would become [Pre-Chorus] I am the want beneath your skin I am the hand at your throat Heaven won’t take me back tonight Hell won’t sign my note [Chorus] Only I see you Only I see you I know your shape in the dark Only I see you Only I see you You burn where I leave my mark [Verse 2] I have been old as broken bone Old as the teeth in stone I fed on saints and summer fruit Still I came home alone You call me curse, you call me king You call me grief with a grin But when you looked at me straight on Something in you let me in [Pre-Chorus] I am the ache you cannot hide I am the feast and the chain I do not pray, I do not plead I only stay in the pain [Chorus] Only I see you Only I see you I know your shape in the dark Only I see you Only I see you You burn where I leave my mark [Bridge] If I am ruin, let me be If I am hunger, let me stay You are the wound that learned my name I am the one you can't wash away [Final Chorus] Only I see you Only I see you I know your shape in the dark Only I see you Only I see you You burn where I leave my mark Only I see you Only I see you The wound is sweet when you hold my heart
