[Verse 1] Velvet on the chapel floor Lipstick like a blood-red vow I count each name on the stained glass They all live in me somehow Ashes in a crystal glass Moonlight on a silver blade Every lover that I kissed once Turned to echoes I have made [Pre-Chorus] I run through every century But I still taste yesterday Every shadow wears my face And it will not fade away [Chorus] I was made for the dark For the heartbreak after midnight For the sins in every slow bite For the secrets in your heart I was born in a grave Taught to love what I would tear apart I can pray I can scream I can run But I was made for the dark [Verse 2] Footsteps in a marble hall Hands that turn to dust in mine I leave roses on their doorsteps Then they vanish over time I trade regrets for ruby rings Hide my thirst in silk and charm But the mirror keeps on cracking Every time I drop my guard [Pre-Chorus] I bathe in burning candlewax Try to cauterize the crime Still their voices climb my spine Whispering across the time [Chorus] I was made for the dark For the heartbreak after midnight For the sins in every slow bite For the secrets in your heart I was born in a grave Taught to love what I would tear apart I can pray I can scream I can run But I was made for the dark [Bridge] [Music drops to eerie pads and clean guitar arpeggios] Run Little monster Run But I know every road you take Every sunrise that you chase I am there I am there (woah) Kneeling in a broken pew Begging for a brand-new start But my halo turns to iron When it’s hanging on this heart [Chorus] I was made for the dark For the heartbreak after midnight For the sins in every slow bite For the secrets in your heart I was born in a grave Taught to love what I would tear apart I can pray I can bleed I can run But I was made for the dark [Outro] [Band hits half-time Big reverb] I was made for the dark Whispered into every scar You can love me You can leave me Still I’m branded by that mark I can beg I can burn I can run But I was made for the dark
