Lyrics
[Intro]
Aichmomania,
aichmomania.
[Verse 1]
Steel that whispers on the stone —
it's the only song you own,
twenty blades along your wall,
and you've named them, one and all.
How you spin the butterfly,
silver flashing in your eye!
[Pre-Chorus]
Aichmomania,
aichmomania,
and the whisper drives you mad,
best disease you ever had.
[Chorus]
Your knife keeps watch for me,
it guards my loneliness,
and I keep watch in turn
for His Silent Highness.
They've got aichmophobia,
you've got aichmomania!
[Verse 2]
Still remember how they turned,
crossed the street like they'd get burned?
Mothers pulled their kids away,
no one asked us out to play,
so we made a world for two —
me and you and, well, him too.
[Pre-Chorus]
Aichmomania,
aichmomania,
and the whisper drives you mad,
best disease you ever had.
[Chorus]
Your knife keeps watch for me,
it guards my loneliness,
and I keep watch in turn
for His Silent Highness.
They've got aichmophobia,
you've got aichmomania!
[Bridge]
Let them run and let them fear,
let them leave, we'll still be here,
mania goes both ways, it's true:
you've got yours, and mine is you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Aichmomania,
aichmomania,
and the whisper drives you mad,
best disease you ever had.
[Chorus]
Your knife keeps watch for me,
it guards my loneliness,
and I keep watch in turn
for His Silent Highness.
They've got aichmophobia,
you've got aichmomania!
