Lyrics
Freedom tastes strange when the room turns stillNo hands on my throat, but I feel them stillThe silence opens like a velvet woundAnd something sweet starts breathing in the gloom
I should run toward the morning lightBut the dark knows how to hold me rightIt says my pain can become perfumeIt says my scars can decorate the tomb
There’s a door beneath my heartbeatThere’s a voice beneath the floorIt doesn’t sound like dangerIt sounds like wanting more
Temptation’s abyss, calling from belowI cut the chains, but I don’t know where to goEvery step away becomes a pull insideTemptation’s abyss —Come teach me how to hide
Sweet dark, don’t let goSweet dark, take me lowI don’t want the light to knowSweet dark, don’t let go
I kissed the edge just to prove I couldFound a little heaven where the hunger stoodThere’s a crown made of teeth in the mouth of the deepAnd it sings me awake when I try to sleep
No, this isn’t love, it’s a beautiful threatA black little halo that I can’t forgetI left your ghost on the burning floorBut the abyss wears my face when it asks for more
Pull me under!Pull me under!Let the pressure turn my bones to sound
No more savior!No more altar!I was lost before I wanted to be found
If I fall, I fall awakeIf I break, I choose the bladeIf the deep is calling meThen I’ll learn the song it made
Sweet dark, don’t let goSweet dark, take me lowI don’t want the light to knowSweet dark, don’t let go
Temptation’s abyss, calling from belowI cut the chains, but I don’t know where to goEvery step away becomes a pull insideTemptation’s abyss —Come teach me how to hide
Temptation’s abyss, I can feel it in my veinsA velvet little violence with a holy nameIf I touch the bottom, will I drown or rise?Temptation’s abyss —Open up your eyes
The dark does not drag me
It waits
It smiles
And I take one step closer
