Verse 1
Fingers trace the burnt-out keys
Warmth still lingers in the vows you swore to me
You said love is a grand funeral rite
I’ll be the sacrifice beneath your velvet night
Pre-Chorus
Don’t look back don’t ask why
Let the ashes bury every lie
When moonlight pierces through my chest
You’ll see the tenderness blooming in this mess
Chorus
I’m your lover in the ash and dust
Dying and reborn in this burning lust
If you kiss me kiss me ‘til my soul turns cold
Let these ruins be the story that we hold
I’m your lover in the ash and dust
Fighting off the freeze with a fevered trust
If you love me love me ‘til the silence screams
Let this wreckage be the sanctuary of our dreams
Verse 2
Gunshots loop on a vinyl spin
Your smile’s a poison bullet sinking in
I count the beats waiting for the final call
Until my pulse is tangled in your breath that’s all
Pre-Chorus
Don’t look back don’t ask why
Let the ashes bury every lie
When moonlight pierces through my chest
You’ll see the tenderness blooming in this mess
Chorus
I’m your lover in the ash and dust
Dying and reborn in this burning lust
If you kiss me kiss me ‘til my soul turns cold
Let these ruins be the story that we hold
I’m your lover in the ash and dust
Fighting off the freeze with a fevered trust
If you love me love me ‘til the silence screams
Let this wreckage be the sanctuary of our dreams
Bridge
Burn it up burn it out let the flames lick the lies
Does it hurt Does it sting Numbness is the prize
Look around see the gray floating up in the sky
Isn’t it just like our wedding day passing by
Chorus (Key Change)
I’m your lover in the ash and dust
Dying and reborn in this burning lust
If you kiss me kiss me ‘til my soul turns cold
Let these ruins be the story that we hold
I’m your lover in the ash and dust
Fighting off the freeze with a fevered trust
If you love me love me ‘til the silence screams
Let this wreckage be the sanctuary of our dreams

(Guitar tremolo fades out mixed with vinyl crackle and wind ending with a soft sigh)
