Lyrics
One breath...One blade...One final mercy...
You built me a palace out of porcelain liesWhite walls trembling under raven skiesI slept with your secrets sewn into my dressA silent little doll in a kingdom of excess
You taught me to smile while the knives came downTo kiss the hand that tightened the crownBut something in the mirror refused to obeyAnd sharpened every tear into judgment day
I won’t be pretty for the painI won’t be soft inside the chainI hear the silver singing cleanCalling for the girl I should have been
Ivory guillotineCut the ghost out of meLet the old devotion fallLike a head from a holy queenIvory guillotineCold as love and twice as cleanI don’t need your heaven nowI crown myself between the screams
Your mouth was velvet over rustYour touch turned worship into dustI kept the bruises underneath my laceUntil they bloomed into a royal face
Now every hallway knows my strideEvery chandelier has watched me dieBut death was just a door in disguiseAnd I came back with winter in my eyes
No confession on my kneesNo forgiveness in the breezeI take the sentence, take the stageAnd carve my freedom from the cage
Ivory guillotineCut the ghost out of meLet the old devotion fallLike a head from a holy queenIvory guillotineCold as love and twice as cleanI don’t need your heaven nowI crown myself between the screams
There is a chapel in my throatWhere every promise learned to chokeThere is a blade beneath my tongueFor every song I never sung
I was your dollI was your brideI was the swanYou kept inside
But now the curtain starts to riseAnd I am done apologizing
Drop the bladeSplit the skyWatch the weak little version die
No more silkNo more leashNo more begging for release
I am the verdictI am the woundI am the brideLeaving the room
Ivory!Guillotine!Set me free!
White lace...Black blood...Cold hands...New love...
Ivory guillotineCut the ghost out of meLet the old devotion fallLike a head from a holy queenIvory guillotineCold as love and twice as cleanI don’t need your heaven nowI crown myself between the screams
Ivory guillotineRaise the blade and let it shineEverything I used to fearBecomes the throne that now is mine
One breath...One blade...No final mercy...Only me.
