(Verse 1) I opened up the silence, but the silence bled with screams, Your shadow walks behind me, haunting every dream. The roses rot to blackness, the perfume turns to ash, A sweetness laced with poison, a wound that cannot pass. (Pre-Chorus) Every heartbeat echoes hollow, Every breath becomes a prayer. There’s a scent that drips from sorrow— And it lingers in the air. (Chorus) My heart smells of terror, burning in the night, Perfume of the nightmares, choking out the light. My heart smells of terror, rotting from within, A fragrance of forever— Drenched in death and sin. (Verse 2) Your kiss was made of fire, your touch a graveyard’s chill, The memory still lingers, and it always will. The flowers on the coffin, the whispers in the rain, The scent of broken promises is carved into my veins. (Pre-Chorus) Every tear’s a poison river, Every scar’s a twisted flame. The smell of death’s forever— And it calls me by my name. (Chorus) My heart smells of terror, burning in the night, Perfume of the nightmares, choking out the light. My heart smells of terror, rotting from within, A fragrance of forever— Drenched in death and sin. (Bridge) The air grows thick, the shadows stay, The stench of fear won’t wash away. A love that died but won’t release, Now reeks of pain, without relief. (Final Chorus) My heart smells of terror, the grave is where it beats, A garden full of silence, where beauty turns to grief. My heart smells of terror, haunting endlessly, The perfume of destruction Will be the death of me. (Outro) And the scent… it lingers on… When the heartbeat’s gone.
