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 I wore
my savage quietly jaded,
dressed in gold switched the fever off in public kept the embers
in my throat {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 {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}
