Lyric

Don’t look away

Tracing the mark upon your skin

I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to know

Shadows move slow across your hand

A pale white circle on your skin

The only place I let my fingers land

My touch stays firm against the line

You don’t pull back, you let it stay

Don’t look away

I feel your pulse begin to race

Don’t try to speak

You stop right there, you hold your place

Tracing the mark upon your skin

My thumb stays where the line has been

You stripped the world off at the door

Left everything on the marble floor

Just stay right here with me

Forget the gold, it stays off your hand

I don’t look for where it’s been

I kiss the mark where the light was blocked

My mouth stays there against your skin

The line is faint, but still it shows

Don’t look away

Your fingers tighten once in mine

Don’t try to move

You hold it there, don’t break the line

Tracing the mark upon your skin

My thumb stays where the line has been

You don’t pull back

You let it stay

Just stay right here with me

No more words

I trace the pulse beneath the line

Your skin stays pressed against mine

The mark you left behind

Tracing the mark upon your skin

My thumb stays where the line has been

I keep my hand right where it is

Right where the light was never in

I don’t move

I don’t give in

Left-hand trace

Just stay
