You came with a kiss like collapse,

Eyes like a clock with no hands.

Pulled me down into precious hours,

Scarred me with your breathless brand.

I drank from your madness,

Sick with what I already knew

That even as I touched you,

The moment slipped right through.

And still I crawl

To the silken teeth of the night,

Where nothing stays,

And everything dies right.

You were never mine to lose,

But I believed like you were true.

I walked through oceans to find you,

Through a dream too dead to wake.

The fever that dressed me in longing

Left only misery in its wake.

Your touch intoxicating,

A prophecy I couldn’t fight

That love is not chosen,

It leaves by night.

And still I crawl

To the silken teeth of the night,

Where nothing stays,

And everything dies right.

You were never mine to lose,

But I bleed like you would too.

I was born to feel you vanish.

Born to serrate my heart.

Born to die inside this theater

Where even madness wears your cloak.

So I crawl

To the silken teeth of the night,

Where nothing stays,

And everything dies right.

Say my name where no one will hear,

Forget me

I was never here.
