27 and Waiting for You in the Fire

Blood on the vinyl, glass on the floor

I kissed the mic like I'd kissed you before

You stood in the shadows, red lips, black lace

A fallen angel with a dancer's grace

They say I'm dying, I say it's fate

But I still crave your touch, it's not too late

You scream, "Don't leave me in this world alone!"

I whisper, "Hell is just a place we've known"

My heart's a stage that's set to burn

But I swear to you

I'll return

27 and waiting for you in the fire

Where the stars fuck death and the gods conspire

I'll see you there, past the smoke and choir

We'll rise again

No pain, just desire

My lungs are drowning in velvet and sound

Your perfume lingers, pulls me down

I wrote you songs in pills and rage

A poet cursed by every stage

You danced for me like it was sin

Now it's the reaper knocking in

You said, "You're light, you're fucked, you're mine"

I said, "We'll love beyond the end of time"

So hold me close, just once more breath

Then kiss me sweet, before the death

27 and waiting for you in the fire

Where the stars fuck death and the gods conspire

I'll see you there, past the smoke and choir

We'll rise again

No pain, just desire

Don't cry for me, you knew the path

I was made to burn, not to last

But in that place where time won't sting

We'll be everything... we couldn't be in spring

27 and waiting for you in the fire

Where we touch like storms, and never tire

Where you're my drug, and I'm your liar

We'll dance again

No chains, just fire

And when the curtain falls with no light, no sound

When the wine runs dry and fever sets me free

Don't search my grave, don't mourn the ground

Find me in the mist, where desire still breathes

Where the echo of my voice brushes your sleeping skin

And my lips, now bodiless

Still whisper your name

There we'll dance, where no end can begin

In the eternal fire where flesh knows no shame

Where flesh knows no shame

Where flesh knows no shame

Where flesh knows no shame
