Requiem

[Verse 1]
Sacrifice unwound
Redesigned and found
You're an echo of my tragedy
Gilded home burns down
The soot clings to you now
Your suffering has stained my eulogy

[Chorus]
Will you look at me if I wear innocent blood?
I'm the mirror you kept covered
All these years you've known my love
Dance with me in the smoke of us
The sky hasn't gone black enough
Wear my mangled soul
We are the devil's toll
This is the requiem
Of broken dolls

[Verse 2]
The altar of a child
Forgotten or reviled
Time stands still when I come home
My nostalgic hell
Has burned you just as well
You're formed out of my salvaged bones

[Chorus]
Will you look at me if I wear innocent blood?
I'm the mirror you kept covered
All these years you've known my love
Dance with me in the smoke of us
The sky hasn't gone black enough
Wear my mangled soul
We are the devil's toll
This is the requiem
Of broken dolls

[Bridge]
Family portrait
Left behind
Faces I don't recognize
Corpses posed so beautifully
Pieces of the devil's dream
Frostbitten lungs and white hot veins
You and I are just the same
You and I are the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you look at me?
Will you look at me now?
Haunting flame

[Chorus]
Will you look at me if I wear innocent blood?
I'm the mirror you kept covered
All these years you've known my love
Dance with me in the smoke of us
The sky hasn't gone black enough
Wear my mangled soul
We are the devil's toll
This is the requiem
Of broken sons
