Porcelain Penance

[Intro]
[Verse]
Step into the dust and light
Silver coins are shining bright
I fix the cracks and hide the stains
While I map out all your veins
You want the rare and the gold
But your spirit’s getting cold
Welcome to my quiet shop
Where the ticking clocks all stop
[Pre-Chorus]
See the moth-eaten veil
Watch your face turn pale
I pour the fluid in the glass
Wait for your breath to pass
[Chorus]
Carving out your eyes tonight
By the flickering candle light
Porcelain skin and a hollow chest
Now you’ll finally get some rest
I bind the soul to the clay
And I watch it fade away
Pretty little doll on the shelf
You’re no longer yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you look so sweet?
Bound from head to feet
In my mortuary keep
While the city is asleep
[Verse]
Antique wood and heavy scent
Money that was never spent
I use the knife to shape the chin
Where the wood ends, I begin
You touched the relic on the wall
Now you’re bound to take the fall
The organ plays a heavy chord
I’m the lady, you’re the ward
[Pre-Chorus]
See the moth-eaten veil
Watch your face turn pale
I pour the fluid in the glass
Wait for your breath to pass
[Chorus]
Carving out your eyes tonight
By the flickering candle light
Porcelain skin and a hollow chest
Now you’ll finally get some rest
I bind the soul to the clay
And I watch it fade away
Pretty little doll on the shelf
You’re no longer yourself
[Bridge]
Fae blood in the ink I use
Nothing left for you to choose
Embalming fluid starts to glow
Nowhere left for you to go
Industrial drums begin to beat
Feel the cold beneath your feet
I’m the one who holds the key
To your new eternity
[Hook]
One for the greed
One for the need
One for the bone
One for the stone
[Chorus]
Carving out your eyes tonight
By the flickering candle light
Porcelain skin and a hollow chest
Now you’ll finally get some rest
I bind the soul to the clay
And I watch it fade away
Pretty little doll on the shelf
You’re no longer yourself
[Breakdown]
Crack the glaze
End the days
In this maze
Lost in haze
[Outro]
