The Gauntlet

I hold you in like a deep breath
Feel you like the last beautiful touch
Before a final rest, I know I'll see you forever
I want it painted black and red

It's so beautiful to me, it's everything I see
It's so beautiful to me but it's nothing that I need

And I can't taste anything less
Every time I'm forced down to be with yourself
Take all the blood you want
But not me from here

It's so beautiful to me, it is everything I see
It's so beautiful to me but it's nothing that I need
Not a hand, not a finger

This is my home, I'm dying here, I hide in the corner
That look on your face, I'm accustomed to it.
