lyrics

I've got a thought that's scratching and digging away,
But now I think I want it to stay.
As you pull us closer it's clear to me
This is no longer fantasy.

Not much time's past, is it too soon?
Well I don't care, let's go.
This transition's tacking hold,
And it feels better, oh no.

Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.

Scared of what will happen if this should break,
But it's a risk that I've got to take.
I can't bare to hurt her but when this comes out,
Her world will crumble, there's no doubt.

But I can't keep on playing it safe.
Nothing happens that way.
Haven't felt like this for so long.
The veil's been lifted today.

Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.

Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.

A thousand flies swarm around the bodies.
I think this time, I might just be one of them.
I pick at the flesh. Selfish sustenance.
We found each other with ease.

Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.

Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.
