you look possessed, like a dark coal hearted girl
cramps in the neck, as the snake retracts and coils
fireflies are swimming in your head
and the splinter is... my twin is dead

ohhhh, oh no
ohhhh, oh no

this bed of spikes, for a self-destructive gem
a crystal ball, sunburst radiance stems
she's purring a mouth full of bees
rips her stitches out and is welcomed home
and welcome home

the wolf descends, we're calling miracles
the flock remains, and gets ripped all apart
shadows stretch a haze across your eyes
as ruby's fall, the princess fades away

gods a mess of color and uncertainty
time to accept, his flawed reasoning
but you can taste the sound of crisis
you've remained soul bound to strife

you're walking on the river like a ghost
you're sealed bubble keeps you afloat
keep your rudder straight tonight
caught red fire in both my eyes

the wolf descends, we're calling miracles
the flock remains, and gets ripped all apart
shadows stretch a haze across your eyes
as ruby's fall, the princess fades away
away
