lyrics

You are, you are...

You are the creature
that the moon has warned me of
that thing which creeps
into the chasms of my mind
to nibble and feast
and tell high tales
of how you fell from the heavens
only to rise from the depths
dipped in Styx

My love, have you come all this way
to make me feel so less alone?
These nightmares need a scape...goat

MY LOVE
HAVE YOU COME
TO MAKE ME YOUR NEXT VICTIM?

Make me, make me your next
make me, me, make me yours
make me your next victim

This flesh feels old
do with me as you please
I'll lick the eons from your bones
if it means I can bathe
in the flames you've brought back
and asphyxiate
on the eviscerated clouds
you've brought down

IF YOU'RE DIPPED IN STYX
THEN I DROWN IN YOUR ABYSS

drown in your...
