Lyrics

Shadows spill into my veins
A quiet hum, but it feels the same
Every prayer, a hollow sound
Every tear just drowns me out
I let the silence take my tongue
Every word feels like a loaded gun
I reach for you but I'm out of place
Caught in the fracture of your grace
Every mirror is a foreign face
Every night a cold embrace
This affliction, carved in my skin
I wear the ghost of what we've been
And I—
Can't escape this affliction
Tied down by your conviction
Every wound bleeds a hymn
But I still let you in
You move like venom through my veins
A quiet violence, a holy pain
I taste the ashes, I taste the fear
But I still worship every tear
You're the weight I crave to bear
A cross I choose, a silent prayer
This curse, my one addiction
This fever, my affliction
And I—
Can't escape this affliction
Tied down by your conviction
Every wound bleeds a hymn
But I still let you in.
Take my hands, break me down
Leave my body in the ground
If love is pain, then let it sting
If love is death, then let it sing
And I—
Won't escape this affliction
Drowning deep in your friction
Every wound bleeds a hymn
But I still let you in
(I still let you in…)
This affliction
This addiction
I'll never be free of you
