Nothing but a glance - xerathis

[Intro] [distorted guitar chugging, double-kick drums] [high-pitched guitar lead enters] [Verse 1] [screamed vocals] She wears a little danger Like perfume on a blade Leaves half a conversation And lets the silence say I know the shape of trouble By the way it says my name She never gives an answer Just another little game [Pre-Chorus] [half-time drum feel] And I keep reading between the lines Like there's something buried there A crooked kind of paradise That only appears when I stare [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals, driving drums] You pull me under With nothing but a glance I lose my balance You never lift a hand You leave me wanting For something I can't name And every time I swear I'm done You do it all again [Post-Chorus] [screamed vocals] Again! [breakdown with heavy palm-muted guitars] [Verse 2] [screamed vocals] Black ribbon 'round a secret A smile I can't decode She tastes the sweetest poison Wherever she goes No promise worth believing No sin I won't rehearse She makes the saint feel hungry And the sinner lose his worth [Bridge] [atmospheric guitars, clean vocals] There's a language in your silence That I somehow understand You don't have to give me anything To make me want to take the chance [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals] You pull me under With nothing but a glance I lose my balance You never lift a hand You leave me wanting For something I can't name And every time I swear I'm done You do it all again [Outro] [screamed vocals] Maybe I invented you Maybe that's the trap A little sacramental ruin I can't retract You leave the altar empty But I still kneel somehow Tell me I'm imagined While you're looking at me now! [heavy guitar chugging, final cymbal crash]
