I DECAY

Verse 1

Pale calcium flakes falling

A quiet brittle shedding from the bone

Sugar syrup pulses deep under

This softening shell that I call home

My structure starts to bow and bend

Losing battle with the weight of time

Short sparks ignite within the ribs

A brilliant theft a momentary crime

Pre-Chorus

Taste the irony of the vein

Feel the rush inside the pain

Love is holding onto the blade

Chorus

I decay while the sun stays high

I decay under a sapphire sky

Sweetness kills if you drink it slow

Love will burn while the gardens grow

Watch the skeleton turn to grey

I decay

I decay

Verse 2

Pink petals drift through open cracks

Filling up the empty spaces in my chest

Heavy leaden joints begin to lock

Giving back the strength I never possessed

Laughter rings inside a hollowing skull

Bitter echoes of the nectar we shared

Vital heat escaping through the seams

Every fracture means we truly cared

Pre-Chorus

Taste the irony of the vein

Feel the rush inside the pain

Love is holding onto the blade

Chorus

I decay while the sun stays high

I decay under a sapphire sky

Sweetness kills if you drink it slow

Love will burn while the gardens grow

Watch the skeleton turn to grey

I decay

I decay

Bridge

Copper scent in the summer breeze

Broken marrow brings me to my knees

Honey gold then it turns to rust

Dust to stars then stars to dust

It hurts because it lived at all

The sweetest rise before the final fall

Chorus

I decay while the sun stays high

I decay under a sapphire sky

Sweetness kills if you drink it slow

Love will burn while the gardens grow

Watch the skeleton turn to grey

I decay

I decay

Post-Chorus

Bone to salt

Heart to wine

Wait for the light

Wait for the line

I decay

I decay
