If you need your fill of life,
Eat the fruit of knowledge from my hands,
If that does not prove to suffice,
I'll give you all that I am.
These wings were spun from sugar,
Dancing on dreams, sweet and pure.
Each time you dare to look at her,
My heart becomes more unsure.
I can't live without your touch now,
Put your hands on me.
Touch me softly; touch me deep.
Do anything but leave.
I can feel the wings being torn from my back,
Feather by feather, my emotions fall like rain.
Is this what it means to give you the love I had?
I'm not carved from marble anymore,
I can feel this pain.
Let your fingers trace across my flesh,
If I'm going to sin so deeply I need to bleed for it.
Mark me deeply, make sure the wounds are fresh,
Give me the most wicked sin of all,
One I'll never forget.
Like pulling petals from a rose,
My skin keeps peeling off.
Who am I now? Do you know?
My wings were all I had left.
Blood trickles slowly down my back,
Thick and sweet to the slightest taste.
A sinister nectar; so wicked and black,
You lap it slowly into your willing mouth,
This is too erotic for you to make haste.
I hear the angels coming for me now,
Ready to purge me of my sin.
But I've fallen beneath the ground,
And I'll never fly again.
Is it really goodbye? So soon?
I was waiting for you to rape me,
So I could sing my sorrowful tune.
Please don't go; stay...
Taint me.
That halo that once encircled our trust,
Gave way to a darker physical lust.
Every layer that you left is peeling back from me,
I'm shedding again, this is too sick for you to see.
You've gone away now,
So I have no choice but to bruise myself.
Sinking my teeth down deeply now,
Into my own pervaded flesh.
I lost more of myself today,
It's darker without you around.
I should have begged you to stay,
But my voice would not come out.
What happened to me?
I used to have wings spun from sugar,
Lips wrought from the reddest of red wine,
Skin the color of the first spring rain,
And eyes like rays of sunshine.
What am I now?
My wings have fallen to ash,
My lips have cracked and bled dry,
My skin is chaffed and scratched,
My eyes are tinted with their lies.
Who am I now?
Do you know?
Who am I now?
Am I dead?
Am I no more?
Was I only meant for your bed?
An angel as your whore?
The moon eclipsed the sun again,
Where are you now?
My body won't move, I fear I'm dead,
You never showed me how...
Ashes to Ashes,
Dust to Dust,
I'll lie here forever,
Tainted by your lust.
Where are the feathers now?
The ones that made my wings.
If I gathered them again,
Could I guide you back to me?
Do you feel me in you now?
As I'm fading into the abyss,
My skin aches for your touch again,
This is agony, not your bliss.
If you needed the fruit of knowledge,
Why didn't you take it from me?
The clouds are purple, the rain is solid,
And I'm left to mourn, left free.
The darkness has come again,
To take me over, cradle me in it's arms.
I wondered about you again,
Am I that far gone?
Just one more time,
Let me see your face,
Just one more time,
Fill me with your taste.
Divinity is lost on us now,
You took everything from me,
I don't know how...
These eyes of mine no longer see.
I swear I felt your touch tonight,
In my dreams of sanctuary,
I felt you rise away from, take flight,
Is there nothing left of me?
Is there nothing left of me?
Redemption is a price I'm unwilling to pay,
I will lay here surrounded by my demons,
I will stay in this eternal hell,
Hoping you come back to me one day.
You will come back for me...won't you?
