Circa Survive – Lustration lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fed by hand and caught with force
Our bed, sweet death will foreclose on everybody's tongues
She'll freeze and break your heart
My love who's left to console the choir

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the anchor on your chest, unkept
Have you ever been asleep?
I was only keeping up to see you weep, unfold

[Chorus]
Inside the catacomb, the marble's colder than ice
Our match is damp, lit with a separate hand
I see into your world, you make no effort to hide
The tourniquet, candles in a salt ring will dance
You don't have to repent tonight at all

[Verse 2]
Tongues will freeze and break apart
My god who's left to concede the cross

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to be the one
I don't want to see the moment you forget, unfed
In the sharpening of teeth
You will have to feel the grit of the concrete vibrate

[Chorus 2]
Beneath your fingernails, they'll find small pieces of stone
You'll face the sun, cut with the pressure point
Inside the catacomb, the marble's colder than ice
Our match is damp, lit with a separate hand
I see into your world, you make no effort to hide
The tourniquet, candles in a salt ring will dance
You don't have to repent tonight
Stargaze in the moonlight, we'll burn
You don't have to defend the light at all

[Outro]
My love who’s left to cross
Inside the passageway
My god who’s left to hold
Inside your precious stare
