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}
