Blood and Light

[Intro - whispered] Made in blood, bound in light, entwined perpetually to behold — boh — boh — [Verse 1] Veins—' Syncopates the machinery. Slip close, trace the edge you never touch!... pull apart the quiet spaces,— that linger in cracks between heartbeats. follow the seam beneath your skin— I’m here, waiting — moving slow (Shh) [sultry swinging saxophone Interlude plays] [Verse 2 / Bridge] This moment's threaded through us, like it always was. You forgot the vow, but your blood didn’t. It hums — every time I say your name. You're not here by chance [sultry swinging saxophone starts playing] You never were. Now come closer. Let the light finish what the blood began. [Verse 3] I move like smoke but I burn like breath — close enough to taste, too near for death. You want truth? I wear lies like perfume. You want love? I’ll hum it, then hollow the room. Mmm— you’re trembling. I like when you do. That means you feel it too. [Refrain 1] Call it love— call it fate— but you came ("Touch me") ("Touch me") Touch me wrong— Touch me right— either way, I always win. (Boh—) (echoing into saxophone swell) [sultry swinging saxophone playing] [Refrain 2] Come closer— Come close— I won’t bite unless you ask. Your heart’s been skipping since the first crack in the mask. I remember how our name sang in the dark — stitched in blood and lit like a lark. So hush now— don’t ruin the thread. We’re not done till you forget and the loop starts again.
