Licking Love From A Knife Lyrics by Carnifex
Broken promises carved in skin
Taste the blood on my lips
Shards of a broken heart, swallow them whole
Shards of midnight bloom beneath my skin
Breathe in the blood, inhale the lie
This is where truth goes to die
Sharp as a razor
Soft like sin
Pull the thread until my heart breaks again
Two broken hearts, sewn together by suicide
I can’t say I love you, I can only say goodbye
I’ll hold your heart, but you’ll devour mine
This is licking love from a knife
Licking love from a knife
Drown me deeper
Taste the sorrow on my skin
A vow in crimson roses, that will never bloom again
One last kiss, one last lie
Bleeding out beneath the moonlight
I never wanted to say goodbye
This is where love goes to die
If love is heaven, just let me die
I’ll trade eternity for one unbroken breath
Lie with you in ruin, star-crossed death
Ghosts that haunt in silence, dreams that turned to dust
I gave you heaven and the stars, it’ll never be enough
I gave you my soul and all I got was scars
Time and eternity will never be ours
Drown me deeper
My last words, carried by the wind
Close my eyes and pray for the end
Two broken hearts, sewn together by suicide
I can’t say I love you, I can only say goodbye
I’ll hold your heart, but you’ll devour mine
This is licking love from a knife
From a knife
I’ll hold your heart, but you’ll devour mine
If love is heaven, just let me die
I’ll trade eternity for one unbroken breath
To lie with you in ruin, star-crossed death
