Sugar, I've developed a taste for you now.

ALT: a man is singing into a microphone on stage

I see the gods avert their gaze from me. My fucking form is but a wreck beneath them and they’re always people I can call on, it’s all so easy for me.

I am the shadow, you're a passenger, I am the intake of breath so sharp and I know you better.

I will fire and forget till we both lay broken.

I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet, and we are exhausted by all this pretending we just can't resist the violence.

Where we met, there must have been dark signs, omens in your skies.

Is that all you need to merely pretend to be falling in love with me?

This is a given, an offering in your favour, a sacrifice in your name.

When you live by daylight with angels at your side, in order now bestowed by the light of the sunrise and you remember everything only till the sun recedes once again.

Will you show me the damage? Well, how much did they hurt you? And how much did they break you? And how far did they take you?
