Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Step light on the velvet floor I heard you at the cellar door The fog is thick and tasting sweet While shadows crawl beneath your feet You think I’m sleeping in the dust Among the relics and the rust But I have watched a hundred years And I can smell your sudden fears [Pre-Chorus] Candelabras flicker low Nowhere left for you to go I see your fingers on the glass Waiting for the night to pass Your pulse is loud against the gloom Inside my quiet, velvet room [Chorus] Take the silver, take the gold A story that was never told The locket’s heavy on your chest It’s gonna rob you of your rest Go on, run into the night You’re never getting out of sight My love is cold, my debt is paid Enjoy the hex that we have made [Post-Chorus] (Breathy vocal layers: Run, run, run) It’s following you (Run, run, run) Like I used to do [Verse] You feared the mirror on the wall The one that saw your spirit fall You dodged the dagger made of bone That leaves the victim all alone But you reached for the gilded heart The piece that tears a soul apart I let the cabinet stay unsealed To see your hollow greed revealed [Pre-Chorus] Music box begins to wind Leaving all your grace behind I see your fingers on the glass Waiting for the night to pass Your pulse is loud against the gloom Inside my quiet, velvet room [Chorus] Take the silver, take the gold A story that was never told The locket’s heavy on your chest It’s gonna rob you of your rest Go on, run into the night You’re never getting out of sight My love is cold, my debt is paid Enjoy the hex that we have made [Bridge] A century of silence here Is nothing to a single tear I loved you when my heart still beat Now I watch your slow retreat The hex is signed in ancient ink Faster than your eyes can blink You stole a piece of my old grief A heavy prize for such a thief [Breakdown] Tick, tock, music box Turn the key, turn the locks No more breath, no more light Welcome to your longest night [Chorus] Take the silver, take the gold A story that was never told The locket’s heavy on your chest It’s gonna rob you of your rest Go on, run into the night You’re never getting out of sight My love is cold, my debt is paid Enjoy the hex that we have made [Post-Chorus] (Run, run, run) It’s following you (Run, run, run) Just like I used to do [Outro]
