Paroxysm Projekt - Formaldehyde Kisses

Lyrics:

The silence here
Is loud enough to break
The fragile quiet
That the living make

My bones ache
To connect to yours
Vibrating through
These cellar floors

Like we are two halves
Of a whole

Separated by the toll
Always searching in the gloom
For the heartbeat
Of an empty room
Knowing something is missing...

So bury me
Next to you, darling
Beneath the frost,
Beneath the starlight
My devotion forever carved
On marble and limestone,
Beautifully scarred

From our beginning to our end
Where the roots
And the ribcages blend.
​
The centuries
Are blinking in and out
We have no need for breath,
Or fear, or doubt

I don’t mind starting again
When the cycle closes
On the sins of men
We slowly crawl
Out of the earth, anew

A pale reflection
Of the things we knew
Shake off the soil and the worms
Ignoring all the mortal terms
Perfectly preserved together
In this violent, violet weather...
​
Cold lips against the fray
Taking the decay away...
These formaldehyde kisses.
​
Bury me next to you, darling
Beneath the frost,
Beneath the starlight
My devotion forever carved
On marble and limestone,
Beautifully vined and scarred

From our beginning to our end
Where the roots
And the ribcages blend.
​
​We will waltz
Out of the mausoleum
Into the center of the coliseum
A tattered suit
And a charred dress
A monument to our distress
The world creates
A hollow sound
But we are finally unbound.
​
​They promised us an ending,
But they honestly lied.
The vow was broken
When the body died...
But look at us.
It isn't just 'Til Death...
No, it isn't just 'Til Death.
​
Life is breathed in me again.
Life is breathed in me again.
​
The silence here
Is loud enough to break
The fragile quiet
That the living make

My bones ache
To connect to yours
Vibrating through
These cellar floors

Like we are two halves
Of a whole

Separated by the toll
Always searching in the gloom
For the heartbeat
Of an empty room
Knowing something is missing...

So bury me
Next to you, darling
Beneath the frost,
Beneath the starlight
My devotion forever carved
On marble and limestone,
Beautifully scarred

From our beginning to our end
Where the roots
And the ribcages blend.
​
The centuries
Are blinking in and out
We have no need for breath,
Or fear, or doubt

I don’t mind starting again
When the cycle closes
On the sins of men
We slowly crawl
Out of the earth, anew

A pale reflection
Of the things we knew
Shake off the soil and the worms
Ignoring all the mortal terms
Perfectly preserved together
In this violent, violet weather...
​
Cold lips against the fray
Taking the decay away...
These formaldehyde kisses.
​
Bury me next to you, darling
Beneath the frost,
Beneath the starlight
My devotion forever carved
On marble and limestone,
Beautifully vined and scarred

From our beginning to our end
Where the roots
And the ribcages blend.
​
​We will waltz
Out of the mausoleum
Into the center of the coliseum
A tattered suit
And a charred dress
A monument to our distress

But we are finally unbound.
​
​They promised us an ending,
But they honestly lied.

When the body died...
But look at us.
It isn't just 'Til Death...
No, it isn't just 'Til Death.
​
Life is breathed in me again.
Life is breathed in me again.
