He came from smoke
Eyes like a war no one had seen before
Whispering, crawling in my head
Love in his lips, but his smile was death

I said
"Take my hand or take your leave
You'll never outrun what you believe."
I watched him dance on a serpent's dream
Then he laughed and said
"I was born from ash - I am the in between."

You pull me in just to tear me apart
A crown of thorns, wrapped around my heart
I loved you like lightning loves the sky
Brief and burning, then goodbye

You gave me poison, dressed in grace
Lit a fire I can't erase
I see you
In every goddamn dream
My king.

I feed on the fear that I try to hide
A mirror of me I can't deny
My voice, a blade in velvet skin

I begged him for mercy
He gave me a grin
"Mercy's a myth," he said
"Now let's begin."

I am the temple
I am the flame
I tear myself open just to crawl back in

I can tell you
The names of kingdoms i have burned
Do you dare to understand?

I fell through the cracks of a love obscene
Trapped in the coils of an unknown scream

The moon is a wound in the sky tonight
The stars are teeth
And you?
You are the cathedral where I hide

Light the match, come taste the flame
My blood, my bones, my offerings
Call my madness by its name

I tear myself open just to feel the pain
I am the chaos in your dream

And I will get you
Again
And again
And again

I can do anything.
I am the lizard queen
