Lyrics
Whispers crawling down the wall,
Velvet shadows start to fall.
Midnight breathes a sickly sweet,
And something's moving at my feet.
Tiny hands behind the glass,
Drawing faces from the past.
I try to speak, but words decay,
The room begins to drift away...
In her cobweb kiss I drown,
Silver threads are pulling down.
She sings a lullaby of dust,
Of brittle dreams and broken trust.
Close my eyes, she's in my head,
Feeding on the things I've said.
In her silence, I confess—
I'm a guest in her black dress.
Ceiling cracks begin to bleed,
A thousand eyes that never sleep.
She slides across the candle flame,
Smiling, but she won't say my name.
Every echo's dressed in lace,
Dripping slowly from her face.
She hums a tune I used to know,
So slow, so slow, so slow...
In her cobweb kiss I drown,
Silver threads are pulling down.
She sings a lullaby of dust,
Of brittle dreams and broken trust.
Close my eyes, she's in my head,
Feeding on the things I've said.
In her silence, I confess—
I'm a guest in her black dress.
