I've felt your heart
Beneath the broken skies
Tethered to earth while you
Reach for divine
Watched your birth from ash and dust
Tangled between pain and trust
Porcelain in a blaze
Mercy and blade
A fleeting spark
In the shadow of fate
You hold the world
With trembling hands
Chasing figures of light
In shifting sands
Yet every touch of you
Leaves a scar behind
A stain on skin
A mark in time
On the outside
I'd do anything at all
With my hands tied
As I watch you fall
Observing
Hollow gaze
As the world decays
A Tender lie
In golden chains
You reach for fire
But you cradle thorns
Finding comfort in the edges worn
You hold to beauty that breaks
In a body that bleeds
Call it love in desperate pleas
On the outside
I'd do anything at all
With my hands tied
As I watch you fall
Oh, in the ashes that remain
I would hold your fading flame
All is broken beyond mending
And some paths remain the same
Observing
Is love a lie
Dressed up in fire?
Or just a wound that we desire?
On the outside
I'd do anything at all
With my hands tied
As I watch you fall
Oh, in the ashes that remain
I would hold your fading flame
All is broken beyond mending
And some paths remain the same
So show me mercy
Behind the fear
A lover's touch
Fading, insincere
Or is every vow just empty breath
Pull me close
Then let me taste
Death
