lyrics

I can see the shape of your skull
underneath your skin
I can feel the tingle of your nerves
when I kiss your chin
Maybe we're all ghosts inside
and we shall die someday
but for now just hold me close and tell me it's ok

I push your lips apart
to see the whites of your teeth
and the darkness inside you
starts to soak into my sheets
I wait for your reply
and nothing comes to me
and the heart that burned for you
starts to slowly bleed.
