Bitter Moon Tears

In the chapel after closing I count the dust where candles were (ahhhh)

Your mirror won’t forgive me

It shows the years

I never earn

I wear the night like borrowed velvet And still I watch

the sunrise burn (mmm)

If I could trade this hunger For one small breath you keep

I’d lay my fangs in river stones And learn the taste of

sleep (ah-ah)

Don’t love me in the daylight I’ll turn to ash in your

hands Hold me where the curtains tremble Where the moon still understands

I’m a heart that won’t stop beating In a body that can’t

heal So kiss me like a last confession And let me stay

unreal (ooh)

I learned your name in secret Between the pages of a vow

You laugh and I pretend I’m human

But my silence

gives me out

(mmm) Say you’ll forget my footsteps

Before the holy bells are rung

I’ll be the stain the water misses

When the morning comes too young (ahhhh)

Don’t love me in the daylight I’ll turn to ash in your

hands Hold me where the curtains tremble Where the moon still understands

I’m a heart that won’t stop beating In a body that can’t

heal So kiss me like a last confession And let me stay

unreal (oh-oh)
