Lyric

A blade in the shape of gentle mercy

Stabs your eyes with a tender touch

Love is always a little too heavy to hold

With fingertips like melting candy

I trace the lines of your silhouette

Wanting to break you without breaking you

I hold my breath and count to three: 1, 2, 3

I want it, I want it, I want it all

But if I take everything, you’ll disappear, right?

So just for a while, just for a little while

I’m borrowing the sound of your beating heart

Desire puts on a mask of mercy

Sweetly devouring every letter of your name

I love you until you break apart

I love you even after you’re gone

Your crying face is just too beautiful

This impulse to preserve it is running wild

Heat I can’t touch behind the glass

I want to freeze it here for eternity

Do you hate the pain? But please, keep feeling it

My love can only live inside your wounds

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stop myself

This twisted ribbon is tied too tight to undo

Desire puts on a mask of mercy

Gently painting over your entire future

I love you until we sink away

I love you even after we’ve drowned

If I were to vanish from this world

Would you feel a little bit relieved?

But even then, you’d hug my afterimage

And cry for me, wouldn’t you?

Desire whispers the final words of mercy

Echoing forever deep inside your ear

I love you even if it all ends

I love you so it never has to end

A blade in the shape of gentle mercy

Slowly stabs into my own chest this time

...Hey, does it hurt?

I’m feeling the same thing, too
