You want me in the peripheral
So I won't get caught in your eye
Is this illusion optical
Or arterial

You are a dark vessel
A swinging pendulum
At night my heart is a quick drum
You tell me it's still beating

Here in the dark
Kiss my birthmarks
Forgive my human faults
I know what you're made of
Your darkness feels like love
A deep cut with salt
A deep cut with salt

I felt I was calling the devil
A wolf herding sheep
You're here with me
In this waking sleep

Here in the dark
Kiss my birthmarks
Forgive my human faults
I know what you're made of
Your darkness feels like love
A deep cut with salt
A deep cut with salt
