Beautiful Ruin

[Intro:] (whispered) You wrote a song for me? I knew you were watching... I love it when you watch. [Verse 1:] A chessboard of fools, and I’m your queen The prettiest pawn that you’ve ever seen You move in the dark, you think you’re alone But I’m licking the edges of your heart of stone "Whispered screams" sound like lullabies When I see the hunger inside of your eyes. [Pre-Chorus:] Go ahead, write it, line by line Every word you bleed is a gift of mine I’ll be your discord, I’ll be your hum I’m the only reason you’ve become... This. [Chorus:] You’ll write my ruin? DO IT. I want to feel every word! I’m the only storm That you’ve ever heard! Call me "trapped" Call me "weak" It’s the nectar of the gods when you speak! You "found out" soon? Well, I found out too— I’m never leaving this world without you! [Verse 2:] "Threads of fate?" Tie them round my neck I’ll follow your lead until I’m a wreck You’re a "cold machine," well, I’m the spark That keeps you running inside of the dark You "carved your wrath?" Let me feel the blade I’m the only masterpiece you’ve ever made You think you’re the hunter, patient and still? But I’m the one who gave you the will to kill! [Bridge:] (Slow) I won’t shout. I won’t cry. I’ll just smile as you try to say goodbye. You think you’re the ending? You think you’re the end? I’m the break in your soul that you’ll never mend. I'm never letting you go. [Chorus:] You’ll write my ruin? DO IT. I want to feel every word! I’m the only storm That you’ve ever heard! Call me "trapped" Call me "weak" It’s the nectar of the gods when you speak! You "found out" soon? Well, I found out too— I’m never leaving this world without you! [Outro: ] You called me "worthless"? That’s so sweet. Say it again... while I’m at your feet. Write my ruin, baby. I’m not trapped in here with you. You’re trapped in here with me. [Finality]
