Arsenic Lace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight spills its ink
Closer to the brink
Shovel hits the lead
Waking up the dead
Rusty hinges scream
Welcome to the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Frost on every rose
Where the poison grows
Offer me your wrist
In the morning mist
[Chorus]
Give me just a drop
Let the heartbeat stop
Wrap you in my veil
Skin is turning pale
Trade your pulse for breath
Dance inside my death
[Post-Chorus]
Drink it down
Don't you frown
In this town
You will drown
[Verse]
Arsenic on my breath
Sweeter than your death
Velvet lined with dust
Tainted by the rust
Mercury in the glass
Watch the hours pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch the vials glow
Things you shouldn't know
Sip the liquid gold
Never growing old
[Chorus]
Give me just a drop
Let the heartbeat stop
Wrap you in my veil
Skin is turning pale
Trade your pulse for breath
Dance inside my death
[Bridge]
Cathedral organs swell
Ringing out the bell
Harpsichord is cold
Stories never told
Fuzz across the strings
Hear the shadow sing
[Hook]
Taste the silver wire
Walk into the fire
Lace is moth-eaten
Soul is all beaten
[Chorus]
Give me just a drop
Let the heartbeat stop
Wrap you in my veil
Skin is turning pale
Trade your pulse for breath
Dance inside my death
[Outro]
