Lyrics:

You put a woman in a coffin

You said you'd do it just for me

You wanna freak me out

Try to send me south

But you only make me more enticed, with you I can't live without

I wanna spiral out in the void

But only if I can bring you along

Your sick obsession gives me hope

Can't wash off these sins with soap

Maybe we could climb along this ever-ripping rope

Oh

Let you break me, let you take me

Let you love me, let you cuff me

I'm a creature built off habit

See your love and I must have it

Think I'm scared that you're a psycho

Baby that's a green light, I'll go

Diving deeper in your madness

Maybe it could cure my sadness

I have only the insects to keep me company

Every time I look at you I'm drawn in

Who cares if I'm impaled by the debris?

A brand new dream will sprout

Grows much faster down

Than it does up, touch the core of the Earth

Burns up and shrivels out

An orchid lasts only for a moment

The ecstasy I feel's a projection

I was a child born without hope

Can't wash off all my shame with soap

And if I can't become my dream then atleast let me untie the roap

Oh

Let you break me, let you take me

Let you love me, let you cuff me

I'm a creature built off habit

See your love and I must have it

Think I'm scared that you're a psycho

Baby that's a green light, I'll go

Diving deeper in your madness

Maybe it could cure my sadness

Oh

There's a distinct dreamlike quality to this, and it's so damn catchy! Been listening to it all day. It reminds me of Nelward, Psychic Rites and Lemon Demon but it sounds so distinct and playful while also delivering great emotion. Good work!

Truly Epic

The dissonance in the intro turned me off at first but this one grew on me as I kept listening. This is a weeeeeird song, but it's really well done.
