Good evening, stranger

+ Show full styles

Good evening, stranger, you wear the night so well. May I have this moment? Just a turn, a step, a spell. Your hand is trembling softly, mine is worse, I fear We look like perfect dancers who haven’t lived in years. So tell me, love, you wanna slit our throats, set the match, let the whole thing glow? Wanna burn the bridges, kill the safety, watch the old world choke? If you’re willing, I’m already there Say the word, and we’ll cut the air. This path is quite unpleasant, yes, the pain would be severe. You’d lose your name and shelter, We'd throw ourselves at fear. But you’ve a charming posture, and I’ve a dying truth We sip our little warnings like tired, laughing fools. Then your mask slips mine already tore. One breath held, one glance at the door. Small smile, bare teeth, slow tilt of the head… Alright then. Let’s wake the dead. So here we go slit our throats, let the spark run wild through the smoke. Watch the timbers blister, watch our old lives fold as the flames take hold. If you’re falling, I’ll fall with you Two shadows burning through. On hands and knees through the ruin, dust in our teeth, blood running thin. But oh, we’re still moving you laugh, I grin the kind of smile you only wear after tearing off your skin. We chose this fire; now we crawl it clean half-dead, full-mean, and fucking free. So sing it loud we’d do it all again. Slit the ties, light the match, let it end. Every scar, every fall, every flame worth the pain, worth the wreck, say my name. If you’re burning, I’ll burn too What we ruined brought me you.
