White Kiss lyrics

The city lights were frozen A neon winter's breath My name was just a whisper Dancing with my death Fortune on the table In a room of hollow sound Fame was just a cage Where I never could be found Her voice was sharp as needles Her touch was cold as stone She promised me a kingdom Built of dust and bone Dreams dissolved in powder A chemical eclipse I drank the holy poison From her pale and silent lips White kiss Poison in the light White kiss Stealing every night White kiss Heaven in disguise White kiss The silver in your eyes I woke inside a wreckage A spider in her web The tide was rising higher But it never seemed to ebb The night had opened softly Like a door I shouldn't cross Now I'm staring at the ceiling Praying to the God of loss Every time I try to run She whispers that I'm never done The mirror's cracked the light is grey There's no more room to hide away White kiss Poison in the light White kiss Stealing every night White kiss Heaven in disguise White kiss The silver in your eyes I tried to break the chains I tried to cut them loose But the more I fight the shadow The tighter fits the noose The tighter fits the noose White kiss The cost White kiss The frost
