The Profane (Lyrics Draft)
Added 2020-01-30 10:00:30 +0000 UTCWhen the grief takes what it wants from you
Then where does the rest of you go?
When I've knelt and prayed till my hands are blue
Then when will the miracle show?
'Cause we've been cursed, and we've been blessed
And damned and damned again
Baby, before we began
I already saw the end
They say the end of the world
Is fast asleep somewhere
I think the end of the world
Sits on your lips, your tongue, your hair
Just like the ache of your fall
Still poisons the very air
Darling, I know you're no angel
Darling, you love like a devil
If only I'd known the absence of where mercy should reside
I would have taken your place
Gladly I would have been to be swept by the tide
I would have borne the disgrace
I can trace my fingers against your face
But I'll never know you outside this embrace
And the stain of your blood on my hands
As we part ways
When my knees have bruised and my time is through
I wonder if you'd ever know
When I've finished here and I'll follow you
I wonder where I'll even go
'Cause I've been cursed and I've been blessed
And I think Heaven hates me again
And Hell has no place for someone like me
I'll sleep at the edge of the end
I know the end of the world
Is fast asleep somewhere
Because the end of the world
Sits on your lips, your tongue, your hair
Just like the ache of your fall still poisons the very air
Darling, you look like an angel
Darling, your love is a devil
I still stare at where you used to sleep beside me
I still wonder if I could have done this differently
Nothing scares me more than inevitability
Because what if it's not real and I'm just guilty?
It's my fault that this won't rhyme
It's my fault you have to die
I fate because I'm scared
That this is on me
