Lyrics
I am holding my breath
Closer to death
Waiting for a chance
Sleep now, lie in the bed
That's when I sent my curse
Into your heart
The fragile fantasy expires
If you won't do what they desire
But in the heat of the lights
It's harder to say no
You look so vulnerable, alone
They're just having some fun
How is it wrong if you wear a smile
I will pluck out their eyes
Throwing their worthless gift into the fire
A drop of blood is all it takes
To close your eyes and seal your fate
And when the fireworks end
A hundred years will pass
I'll hold no happiness in my heart
Goodnight, my baby girl
And dream of paradise
My thorns will cradle you with love
I am holdng my breath
Closer to death
Waiting for my chance
