Lyrics
First One's Free
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The corrosive kiss
It's lust, so destructive
No ordinary man can fight the riptide
Paradise is just an invasion away
Remorseful life so easily obtained
Seemingly so futile
Shooting down all of your hope
The plague is shrouded in a native core
Such comfort and warmth can turn to horror
Bonds turn to business, rejoice to regret
Shattered dreams over something so inadequate
The alone ventures into the unknown
Your skin is flushing white
And now we both see the final curtain
Stay with me in felicity
This world has no use for you
Open up
I'm under your skin, thank you for letting me in
The gateway, encapsulated
The familiar seem so mysterious
Hosting the leech is the loudest cry
Echoing through an abandoned love
I was obscured by your impostrous cure
The plunge has left me a prisoner
Only fed all these dilated lies
I see through your sickening disguise
Stay with me in felicity
This world has no use for you
Open up
I'm under your skin, thank you for letting me in
