Memento mori

Lost in the swarm deteriorating with the bset of them
But every sweet breath
Breathes the question
Will you be too cold to hold my hand?
Or will you just let go?
I know when you say forever it's like broken glass on your velvet voice
Tear a hole in forever and die in your arms
So I invite you to walk the fire
Burn your beautiful fingers
Pierce this delicate skin
Arms tied behind your back
Torch this fucking town
Burn every memory
Burn it down
And let the ashes dry your tears
Redemption
Ignite this wretched monument
With unwavering stride
We will leave it all behind in a beacon of flames
If for one precious moment I could rest my tired eyes on you
In this bellicose world my eyes are blurred and you're all I see
Let the past be forgotten
The years have worn our hearts callous
Standing before you impoverished
All I am
For you I would seize the knife
Lay down this white cloth and offer my veins
Distill the life in me
But still every dying gasp breathes the question
Will you be too cold to hold my hand?
Will you just let go?
I know when you say forever it's like broken glass on your velvet voice
A cold dead center
The stale air infects our lungs
And I find myself drawn to the flames of your last irresistible blaze
Signs that as long as I'm breathing I'm yours
Diseased by imperfection my hope
