[Verse 1] Velvet masks and quiet laughter Perfume Bitten from the air Candles lean like guilty witnesses Over every painted stare Gloved hands trace forbidden circles Crimson silk along the floor I move through the bloom of bodies Like a shadow through a door [Chorus] Who wears the face of my forever? Who hides your thirst under lace? I cross this room of borrowed names To find your one true Aching face Masquerade of the undying heart I have waited through the centuries Tonight I taste your mortal spark When your eyes remember me [Verse 2] [low vocal register] Marble columns Bone-white guardians Watch them spin and sweat and sway Every pulse a little thunder Calling softly from the fray You brush past A scent of jasmine Neck exposed a breath too long I see fear behind your feathers You have heard this hunger’s song [Pre-Chorus] Do you feel that quiet dragging Like the tide beneath your feet? Every step you take toward danger Still falls perfectly on beat [Chorus] [Bridge] [growled whisper] Lips near your ear "Take off the mask" You say "Not yet" So I peel back the past Show you visions Of every life you ever were You tremble Then you touch my cheek Like you almost remember [Chorus] [Outro] [whispered vocals] Music fades Teeth on skin "Now I know you" Again Again
