Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've learned to sleep again
To trust and exalt myself,
I'm asking
What did I get from you?
My blood still drips from your mouth,
When you're laughing
Ebb the tide
That swallowed me whole
1st Chorus:
The sun burns my skin
On days I am with you
So leave me to the shadows at high noon
Bring the moon
Verse 2:
I've learned to breathe again
To mend the vein you dined upon,
Dark parasite
Fill your void
On the flesh of the dead
2nd Chorus:
The sun burns my skin
On days I spend with you
So leave me to the shadows at high noon
Midnight will spare me
The curse of your love
Because love is a myth told in stone runes
Bring the moon
Solo
Bridge:
I'm wise to love's appeal
It breaks the dark with bright white light,
Entrapping me
Repeat 2nd Chorus
