[Intro] Shadows in the hallway Dust on velvet frames Your portrait keeps on watching As I whisper out your name (hey) [Verse 1] Male: Teeth in a glass on the bedside table Lipstick stains on my old black glove You said forever in the chapel tower Now forever tastes like rust and love Female: Moon on the moat like a split red mirror You trace my throat like a fragile crime I feel your hunger in the freezing air Counting heartbeats Buying time [Chorus] Crimson choir Sing my veins on fire In this castle made of scars and stone Drink my darkness Leave me pale and heartless I was never meant to die alone Crimson choir Call me higher Higher To a throne of shattered bone If I become your hunger Will you call this place our home? [Verse 2] Male: Curtains breathe like they’re alive and waiting Claws in the wallpaper Spelling my sins Every kiss a tiny Gentle ending Every ending pulls you in Female: You press your mouth to the open secret Say it’s mercy as the room turns cold I taste centuries in every shiver Silver promises and hands of gold (oh) [Chorus] Crimson choir Sing my veins on fire In this castle made of scars and stone Drink my darkness Leave me pale and heartless I was never meant to die alone Crimson choir Call me higher Higher To a throne of shattered bone If I become your hunger Will you call this place our home? [Bridge] Male: If I fall Will you fall too? Meet me where the candles die Female: If I turn Will you turn too? Let the mortal morning slide Both: Blood on the staircase Names carved in glass Kiss me at the window As the living night walks past (woah) [Chorus] Crimson choir Sing our veins on fire In this castle made of scars and stone Drink our darkness Leave us pale and heartless We were never meant to die alone Crimson choir Pull us higher Higher To a throne of shattered bone If we become the hunger We will call this place our home
