Blind

The church was just a hollow shell

A quiet, polished kind of hell

You knelt within the rotting oak

I watched the way your spirit broke

The light came down to gouge my eyes

A holy blade, a white disguise

I let it scald, I let it burn

To keep the secrets that I learn

I'm blind to everything but you

I've ripped the sky of all its blue

I don't need light to find your throat

I'm sinking in this fever-moat

I'm blind and I don't want to see

As long as you're enslaved to me

Burn the altar, kill the day

I'll wash the world in black and gray

Burn the altar, kill the day

I'll wash the world in black and gray

The marble statues start to rot

I've buried every god I bought

The saints are screaming in the dark

I've turned the pews to kindling spark

The faces melt like wax and bone

I'm king upon a shadow throne

I can't remember what was real

I only know the way you feel

I'm blind to everything but you

I've ripped the sky of all its blue

I don't need light to find your throat

I'm sinking in this fever-moat

I'm blind and I don't want to see

As long as you're enslaved to me

I've forgotten how the summer tasted or the way the lilies smell

I've traded every silver heaven for a dark and private hell

The architecture's bleeding out and pouring down into the floor

I'm locking every window and I'm bolting every single door

I don't remember if the sun was gold or if the moon was white

I only want the poison of your body in the middle of the night

Burn the altar, kill, kill the day

I'll wash the world in black and gray

Burn the altar, kill the day

I'll wash the world in black and gray

Your pink lips, a scarlet scar

Your soft skin, the only star

I am hungry for the dark

You are all I own

Goodnight, my light
