[Verse 1]
You look so pretty with your heart in your mouth
My taste on your tongue, your knees on the ground
The air is heavy, but you won't say out loud
What you want from this night
No need to be proud
[Pre-Chorus]
I could reanimate you, I could annihilate you
If you just ask, I could come, and I could violate you
There is no revelation if you show hesitation
There's no remorse, only invitation
[Chorus]
Only I could save you now (Ah)
(I am the godless one)
Come and let me show you how
(Gather all the things I see)
'Cause it's only your moment
Just breathe in and hold it
You'll feel it, I know it
Only I could save you now
(Ah, ah-ah, ah)
[Verse 2]
I know it's terrifying, but you're so close now
The silence so loud
Our love is sanctifying
Your lungs move slow now
Exhale yourself out
Look at the way we move
So unholy and untamed
When I hear you say my name
You wanna be made new
Give your petals to the flame
You want your flowers?
I want the same
[Chorus]
Only I could save you now (Ah)
Come and let me show you how
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
[Outro]
'Cause it's only your moment
Just breathe in and hold it
You'll feel it, I know it
Ah (Ah)
Ah
