The Curse Beneath Our Skin

Verse 1

You came to me like a dying prayer

A shadow wrapped in midnight air

Your silver gaze cut through my soul

Like you already knew every broken part I hide below

The stars were trembling overhead

Like heaven feared the words we never said

And every breath between our lips

Felt like the start of another apocalypse

Pre-Chorus

I know your touch

Like a scar I can’t erase

Like every road through every life

Was only leading me to this place

Chorus

We are the curse beneath our skin

The darkness no one else could live within

Not holy, not innocent, not saved

But something eternity itself could never break

And every time the worlds collapse

I still come crawling back

No matter how the story ends

You are the ruin I would choose again

Verse 2

Your wings unfolded in the storm

Black as death, but somehow warm

You held me like I was divine

Like losing me would destroy your mind

And somewhere in the endless night

I watched your demons kneel beside the light

Like even monsters learned to pray

The moment you whispered my name

Pre-Chorus

You looked at me

Like I was the last thing keeping you alive

And for one heartbeat

I forgot how to survive without you by my side

Chorus

We are the curse beneath our skin

The darkness no one else could live within

Not holy, not innocent, not saved

But something eternity itself could never break

And every time the worlds collapse

I still come crawling back

No matter how the story ends

You are the ruin I would choose again

Bridge

If loving you destroys me

Then let the heavens watch me fall

Because I would rather drown in your darkness

Than never feel your touch at all

Final Chorus

We are the curse beneath our skin

Bound together by every deadly thing

Through every death, through every war

I will still be yours

And when the stars forget to shine

When time itself leaves us behind

I’ll find you somewhere in the end

And choose our ruin once again
