I trace the lines of something cold Ten thousand years of velvet draped on gold You give me just enough to stay Then pull your icy soul away I know your walls, I know your glass The frozen shadow that you cast And still I reach, and still I chase Addicted to your empty gaze A single child to pay your debt A night of steel I can't forget I searched for warmth beneath your coat And found an iron blade against my throat I wrap my silk around your frame You whisper "duty," not my name You smooth your coat, you turn the key, And lock the world away from me. You're right here Miles away Touch your face Cold as stone Have your frame Still alone! I can't stop craving what I'll never hold! I can't stop reaching through your frozen heart! You're bound beside me in a crown of gold I want your soul, but cannot touch the spark! You keep me locked outside your skin! You keep me locked outside! You look at me like I'm a stain You treat my desire like a chain I pull you close, you turn your back And leave me starving on the track I've had your skin a thousand times A queen of shadow and of sighs And every time I think I'm near Your pristine mirror makes it clear I brought my hunger to your floor You threw the bolt and locked the door You call it pride, you call it height I call it dying in your light! You're right here Miles away Touch your face Cold as stone Have your frame Still alone! I can't stop craving what I'll never hold! I can't stop reaching through your frozen heart! You're bound beside me in a crown of gold I want your soul, but cannot touch the spark! You keep me locked outside your skin! You keep me locked outside! Maybe this is all I get... Maybe this is all there is... Loving something made of stone Is better than an empty bliss... I could walk away, I know I could Break these chains and leave for good! But I’d rather burn in craving you Than feel nothing like I should! I'd rather drown inside your frost! Pay whatever price it costs! Than walk away and leave this bed And pretend that I am whole instead! I can't stop craving what I'll never hold! I can't stop reaching through your frozen heart! You're bound beside me in a crown of gold I want your soul, but cannot touch the spark! You keep me locked outside your skin! You keep me locked outside! Never enough... Never enough... Locked outside... Always... [Final Piano Chord Echoes Out]
