[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] You inhale me like a lit fuse Clockwork lungs that never choose Your fingers sanctify then scorch I learn to love the sting of torch [Verse 2] Each kiss a currency of ash I spend it slow, then crash and crash You draw me in, I fold my sight And hand another shadow light [Pre-Chorus] Tell me this is not a wound Tell me I am not the tune But every murmur carves a fate And every inhale comes too late... [Chorus] As I rot quiet in your arms... Tangled in ruins, soft with harm... You promise ladders from the deep... While cradling the blade I keep... I'm leaking time, you never go... You grin like petals made of snow... I bow to poison, keep it warm... As I rot quiet in your arms... [Instrumental Breakdown] [Verse 3] You sketch forgiveness on my bones Run chalk across the hollow tones Say you regret, say you atone But worship pins me like a throne [Verse 4] You drift like ink, you never stay You take the light and leave the gray And still tonight I'd part the skin To let the darkness push you in [Pre-Chorus] If this is love, let it consume Your quiet is the broomed-out room I'll be the tomb you nest inside If one more hour keeps you alive... [Chorus] As I rot quiet in your arms... Where bleeding blossoms meet the dark... You dismantle me with tender tools... And I, a puppet bound by rules... My breath falls hollow to your name... I do not struggle, stoke the flame... Hold tighter to the gentle harm... As I rot quiet in your arms... [Instrumental Outro]
