lyrics

You were the hologram that my hand just slipped through.
You were the followed lamb, but the shepherds lost you.
You were the poem, the nightmare, the flake of snow,
That melted as soon as it formed.
You were the pentagram.
But my devil’s the storm.

You were the mirror that distorted my face.
You made me see clearer - I’d fallen from grace.
You were a thousand tiny embers
That could never keep me warm.
You were the raindrop.
But my devil’s the storm.

You were the jester when I was locked in the tower.
While I was sequestered, you would tunnel for hours.
And you broke the bricks of my prison
With your shank forged from a spoon.
You lit up the sky, while I turned off the moon.

Now wax from the candles has erased these five points.
But my soul is a scandal that no priest could anoint.
And the rag of my penance is drenched
With the scent of your heart’s chloroform.

I tricked your angels to get lost in my storm.
You were the seraph when my devil was born.
But I built us a shelter - now come out of the storm.
