Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We burn slow in a room full of smoke,
Fingers tangled in words we can’t revoke.
Your silence cuts like a blade I deserve
A sacred wound, but it still makes me curve.
I watch your eyes, black lakes with no shore,
Reflecting a love I can't ignore.
You scream with a whisper, I bleed with a smile
This poison tastes sweet all the while.
[Pre-Chorus]
We're drowning in the quiet,
Cradled by the thunder.
You're my ruin, you're my riot
I’ll love you in the aftermath.
[Chorus]
We tear each other gently,
Like roses torn from stone.
We scream until it’s lovely,
But we’re never quite alone.
Two ghosts in a bedroom,
Where healing has no home.
We love like it’s a sentence
And we’re both on the phone.
[Verse 2]
Your touch is a fever, your kiss is a knife
You stab me with all that makes up my life.
We fight in the dark just to feel something real,
But the truth is a ghost we both fail to heal.
Bedroom windows fogged with regret,
Breath like a vow we’ll never forget.
You pull me in close, then vanish like mist
One hand on my heart, one in your fist.
[Pre-Chorus]
We're tangled in the wreckage,
Breathing through the storm.
You're my curse, you're my caress
I’ll love you 'til I’m gone.
[Chorus]
We tear each other gently,
Like roses torn from stone.
We scream until it’s lovely,
But we’re never quite alone.
Two ghosts in a bedroom,
Where healing has no home.
We love like it’s a sentence
And we’re both on the phone.
[Bridge]
"I know you’re breaking me
But don’t you dare let go.
The pain is all I feel
And I don’t want it to stop."
[Breakdown]
We’re rot beneath the altar,
Love carved into scars.
You’re the storm, I’m the damage
We never made it far.
But if the world collapsed tonight
I’d still hold you in the firelight.
[Final Chorus]
We tear each other gently,
But we're breaking bone by bone.
We scream until it’s holy
Still, we’re never quite alone.
Two souls in a death room,
Where seeds of love still grow.
We love like it’s salvation
But it’s all we’ve ever known.
[Outro]
There’s always tomorrow
Always tomorrow...
I can't let you go...
