Lyrics In velvet chambers drenched with wine, Your shadow slipped inside of mine, Like midnight crawling through a flame, And softly whispering my name. Your lips — a sacrament of sin, A slow collapse beneath my skin, A fever dressed in silk and smoke, A prayer that begged itself to choke. The candles bowed their golden heads, As if they knew the things we said, The wicked hymns, the tangled breath, The kind of love that ruins death. You moved like thunder under lace, With hungry stars behind your gaze, A blackened rose, a sweet decay, Pulling every vow away. And darling — God — the way you smiled, Turned all the sacred things to wild, Like Poe possessed by lust and fire, Writing ruin from desire. Your fingertips along my throat Were darker than the words he wrote, A slow delicious kind of ache, The kind no holy thing could take. So pull me deeper, inch by inch, Past every place the angels flinch, Where moans bloom red against the dark And every kiss leaves teeth-like marks. Tonight let heaven close its eyes, Let raven wings eclipse the sky, For if this love must damn my soul, Then hold me harder while I fall. And darling — God — the way you smiled, Turned all the sacred things to wild, Like dying stars inside my chest, You ruined me so beautifully blessed. Your touch became my final prayer, A velvet noose, a lover’s snare, And if the end should come tonight, Then let me disappear inside your light. So kiss me slow beneath the ruin, Where all the broken heavens loosen, And let my final breath confess... I never feared the dark — Only losing this.
