Masochist

[CHORUS] I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I knew the fire, still I kissed I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I burned alive inside the mist I’m a masochist [VERSE 1] I knew this love Would rot and rust Still I stood there Out of lust You were not shattered You were only starved For every glance For every heart You feared the caverns In your head So you turned And made me bled You fed your fever With your lies You soothed yourself With jealous eyes [PRE-CHORUS] Hypocrite With honey on your tongue Hypocrite A dirge in every lung Hypocrite You kissed me like a prayer Then left your snakes Coiling in the air [CHORUS] I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I knew the fire, still I kissed I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I stayed and took the final hit I’m a masochist [VERSE 2] I stayed there willingly And cursed what lived in me You fooled me with such grace Like ruin wrapped in melody And maybe I love The sacred sting The grand collapse That sorrow brings Maybe that is why I let it grow Why I kept feeding What I should not know But the fault is mine Yes, the fault is mine You raised the axe Inside my mind [PRE-CHORUS] Hide your demons In your well of black Don’t drag them here Don’t send them back Don’t come to me Like a starving wolf Don’t make me wear Your poisoned cloth And don’t blame me For your shadow’s breath For the storm you hide Beneath your chest [CHORUS] I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I knew the fire, still I kissed I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I drank the dark and called it bliss I’m a masochist [BRIDGE] If I burn to ash tonight Will I rise in morning light? If I fall beneath the flame Will I return and take my name? From the embers of this pain Can I make myself again? From the ruins, from the smoke Can I rise from what you broke? I don’t know I don’t know But I feel it In my bones Something glowing In the coals [BREAKDOWN] Hypocrite You wore a holy light Hypocrite But fed on rotten nights Hypocrite You called it love instead Then laid your crown In someone else’s bed [FINAL CHORUS] I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I knew the blade, still I kissed I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I burned, I broke, I still exist I’m a masochist I’m a masochist I’m a masochist From ash to breath, I will resist I’m a masochist
