Perfume still on the
glass your relic in my chest I confess,
I built a statue out of cold and calm and breath {crystalline
synth pads building}
I kept your aftertaste
underneath a veil of clean put your name on the hit list
then locked you in my dreams My flesh knew your gravity before
my rules could speak one whisper through the velvet and the stone
went weak
{glitch cuts on vocals} So I wrote it on the altar called
it debt, called it owed I could stand on mountaintops and still
feel you in my bones The fantasies went deeper than the lie
I could confess I could turn myself to marble but the marble
wanted rest {soaring trance lift} You are not my religion
but I kneel where memory starts
hands above my head
with a furious heart
{peak energy drop}
Crucify the wanting then forgive it in the dark we dance in
private theater velvet nights and hollow sparks No throne,
no crown, no ceremony still you carve me into gold still you
move me like a hymn with the pull I can’t control
{glitch
breakdown} I kept the king in silence
left the crown behind the veil
made a saint of my composure
so nobody saw it fail
Then your kiss returned like incense
not gentle, not erased
a flash of pleasure burning
with the ache beneath the lace
{trap percussion focus} So I stopped calling it control
when the rite began to breathe stopped naming it a limit when
it brought me to my knees
Now the dark keeps returning like a prayer I never chose I
can hold myself together and still feel you rising close
{build to final} You are not my religion
but I know the sacred rite
where a touch becomes a relic
and a kiss becomes the light Crucify the wanting then forgive it
when it stays
I was strong again then you made the fever blaze {full peak}
If this is the altar why does it burn?
If this is the icon what did I earn?
If I am the statue
why do I breathe?
If I am the relic
why can’t I leave?
No saint comes clean no velvet stays pure no kiss this deep
leaves the body sure I feel the transformation
old flesh breaking through I was holding all the embers now the
embers answer you
{glitch interlude build} We dance in private theater
velvet nights and hollow sparks
no throne, no crown,
no ceremony only gold inside the dark
Still you carve me into marble still you move me like a
hymn still the body keeps the memory still
I kneel where
it
begins {extended drop} Perfume still on the glass your relic in my
chest I confess, I built a statue out of cold and calm
and breath You were never mine to hold but you never fully
left just the dark coming back with
devotion on its breath {fade with pads}
