Burn My Heart

I let you in through the cracks of my skin A slow surrender, a beautiful sin You are the hunger I cannot deny The wolf in the garden, the tear in the sky I built an altar of bone and of trust And laid myself down in the mud and the rust You took my worship and fed it to fire And still, I am crawling back to the pyre I see you standing on the edge of me A god of shadows and of ecstasy And I am nothing but a willing slave To the beauty that you gave Eat me alive, devour the light Bury my heart in the dead of the night Take every part, tear me apart I am the offering, you are the art Eat me alive, erase the divine I'll be your altar, I'll be your shrine I am the knife, I am the wound I will be yours beneath the moon You are the venom I drink with my eyes The poison that lives in the shape of a sigh I trace your name on the back of my hand A promise I'll never be able to stand Your voice is a knife that cuts through the noise The sound of a god who destroys and enjoys And I am the wreckage you leave in your wake A soul that was never meant to awake I see you standing on the edge of me A god of shadows and of ecstasy And I am nothing but a willing slave To the beauty that you gave Eat me alive, devour the light Bury my heart in the dead of the night Take every part, tear me apart I am the offering, you are the art Eat me alive, erase the divine I'll be your altar, I'll be your shrine I am the knife, I am the wound I will be yours beneath the moon
