Crown of Thorns

[Verse 1]
Your name tastes like rust on my tongue,
Like broken prayers never sung.
You move like smoke through cathedral air,
A fallen god with a vacant stare.

Your hands leave bruises shaped like truth,
Carve your vows into my youth.
Every kiss is a quiet grave,
But I’ve never wanted to be saved.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t love — you consume.
Turn my heartbeat into doom.
Still I kneel beneath your touch,
Wanting you too much.

[Chorus]
You’re my villain in the dark,
Etching your initials in my heart.
Tell me I’m yours like a curse I can’t undo.
Wrap your chains around my veins,
Make a cathedral of my pain.
If this is damnation,
I choose you.

[Verse 2]
Candles flicker, shadows sway,
You pull the light out of my veins.
Your whisper crawls beneath my skin,
Like holy water laced with sin.

You watch me break with gentle eyes,
Call it love in thin disguise.
I bleed devotion at your feet,
You kiss the wound — it feels complete.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar becomes your art,
Every fracture — where you start.
You don’t touch, you possess,
And I still say yes.

[Chorus]
You’re my villain in the dark,
Tear my fragile world apart.
Say forever like it’s something cruel and true.
Paint your halo black for me,
Turn my mercy into need.
If this is damnation,
I choose you.

[Bridge – stripped, whisper to scream]
No angels left to call my name,
Only echoes dressed in flame.
Your love’s a knife I hold inside,
Twist it slow — I let it slide.

If I’m your ruin, wear me proud,
Say my sins out loud.
Break me softly, make it art,
You already own my heart.

[Final Chorus – intense, almost desperate]
You’re my villain, my last breath,
Beautiful and close to death.
Say you’ll never let me heal from you.
Build your empire in my chest,
Lay your darkness down to rest.
If loving you means losing light —

Then let the night come through. 🖤
