There's a shadow on the carpet
Stretching out from beneath the bed
I can feel it closing in
But I cannot lift my head
My skin is made of porcelain
My eyes as dull as lead
Staring up at the ceiling
Feel the presence like a breath
I dreamt of you by the lake last night
On The docks where we used to meet
When you said there was a monster in you
That would crush the angel in me
A voice sang out a siren's wail
Somewhere down the empty streets
You said there was a monster in you
That would crush the angel in me
Sweet little seraphim
Sink beneath the crashing of the waves
I've got all of this bad blood
It's all that's left in my veins
Nothing else remains
Save for the light
That comes at night
Casting shadows from its withering flame
I believe there is an honesty
In the secrets we choose to keep
But they won't let go of their stranglehold
And they'll follow you into the deep
Their chains will rust but they will not break
As they slip into the sea
There once was an angel in me
Sing little seraphim
As you sink beneath the crashing of the waves
I've got all of this bad blood
It's all that's left in my veins
Nothing else remains
Save for the light
That comes at night
Casting shadows from its withering flame
I've got all of this bad blood
It's all that's left in my veins
Nothing else remains
Save for the light
That comes at night
Casting shadows from its withering flame
