The Gauntlet

I hold you in like a deep breath
Feel you like the last beautiful touch
Before a final rest
I know I'll see you forever
I want it painted black and red
It's so beautiful to me, it's everything I see
It's so beautiful to me, but it's nothing that I need
And I can't taste anything less
Every time I'm forced down
To be with yourself, take all the blood you want
But not from here
It's so beautiful to me, it is everything I see
It's so beautiful to me, but it's nothing that I need
Not a hand, not a finger
This is my home
I'm dying here
I hide in the corner
That look on your face
I'm accustomed to it
