A single black rose was left over the casket
(Try to break free, it'll cling to your decay)
And the color was carried over the sunset
(Breathe it in again and watch your beauty suffocate)
So much adoration for such humiliation
(It hollowed out your bones and it put your love to waste)
How shameful it'd be to be your own damnation
(It's sickening to know that this is all I'd ever crave)

A nightmare called out to me
Said "please, I'm sorry, let us be"
I found my hands 'round her neck
And saw the glow of rotting envy
A nightmare called out to me
Said "but I love you, endlessly"
I found my hands 'round her neck
Killing the light of rotten envy

Maybe you'd rather drag me down
Keep me captive underground
But maybe you think it's okay
If I watch your aura wilt away
Maybe you'd rather I be found
Drinking in your every sound
And the path lines up anyway
You'll still be reaching for my face
I think I'd rather have blood on my hands
Than be another puppet to your dance
I can't say I miss you dearly
Or that you could've run from your own undoing

A ravenous angel followed the signs
So many words gleaming in her eyes

If only you knew heartbreak
Was such a soft pain
It didn't have to keep us bleeding
You didn't have to keep me pleading
Go on and tear the world to shreds
Go on and cry when you see red
Go ahead and play the fucking victim

Maybe you'd rather drag me down
Keep me captive underground
But maybe you think it's okay
If I watch your aura wilt away
Maybe you'd rather I be found
Drinking in your every sound
And the path lines up anyway
You'll still be reaching for my face
I think I'm glad I have blood on my hands
From your excuse of a tragic romance
I can't say I didn't want to watch you die
Or that I'd ever regret the tears in your eyes

From the start,
You had poisoned your own heart
I don't want to know why
You smiled as I took your life

I swore I'd catch you if you'd fallen
I'm yearning for what you'd forgotten
I bled out to you, pleading I'd be
Thriving through your twisted story
What would you call morality?
What would you call normality?
Could I let you take the fall for me?
It's all my fault I gave you mercy

Maybe you'd rather drag me down
Keep me captive underground
But maybe you think it's okay
If I watch your aura wilt away
Maybe you'd rather I be found
Drinking in your every sound
And the path lines up anyway
You'll still be reaching for my face
I think I'm glad I have blood on my hands
From your excuse of a tragic romance
I can't say I miss you dearly
Or that you could've run from your own undoing

You're the one who made the game
And you're the one who cast the die
So rot in peace, valentine,
Won't see you in the next life
