Centuries in the dark, then you appeared, dangerous light

Your warm skin on my dead hands, woke something I thought had died

I crave your eyes more than your veins, every heartbeat pulls me under

I love you too much to stay… too much to leave, I wonder

Refrain

Heartbeats in the dark, calling me, calling me

Your blood sings my name, pulling me, pulling me

I want you, I need you, I can’t let you go

But loving you means letting you go… I know, I know

Verse 2

I trace your lips but never kiss, my hunger’s too damn deep

One taste of you and I might break the only thing I want to keep

Night after night I choose restraint, it’s the only love I can give

A monster in love with a mortal… this is how I choose to live

Verse 3

Your laughter cuts through centuries of silence like a blade

Every smile you give me is a debt I can never repay

I count your breaths like stolen time, knowing it won’t last

The sweetest torture I’ve ever known is holding you in my arms like this

Verse 4

When morning comes you’ll see the sun, I’ll fade back into shade

You’ll live your life in colors while I drown in endless grey

Still I’ll watch from the darkness just to keep you safe from me

This is love for a creature like me… pure, silent, and deadly

Refrain

Heartbeats in the dark, calling me, calling me

Your blood sings my name, pulling me, pulling me

I want you, I need you, I can’t let you go

But loving you means letting you go… I know, I know
