[Intro] You closed your eyes like chapel doors The night fell down on marble floors I felt the room begin to kneel Before the hurt we would not feel [Verse] Your mouth was wine, your mouth was rain Your mouth was velvet over pain You kissed me like the world was dressed In black around a hollow chest The chandelier began to shake As if the stars were wide awake I held you close, you held me still Two hearts obeying one dark will [Pre-Chorus] And every breath became a vow We should have broken then somehow But beauty makes a perfect chain When sorrow learns to speak your name [Chorus] You kiss like a funeral Soft as a graveyard rose You kiss like a funeral And everybody knows We are dancing with the ending But we never let it show You kiss like a funeral And I cannot let you go [Verse] Your fingers traced my collarbone Like names on weathered funeral stone You laughed and said that love survives By eating through our other lives The music turned, the windows cried The moon was pale and terrified I tasted ash beneath your tongue And still I wanted to be young [Pre-Chorus] And every lie was dressed in lace And every wound became your face We should have left the ballroom floor But hunger opened every door [Chorus] You kiss like a funeral Soft as a graveyard rose You kiss like a funeral And everybody knows We are dancing with the ending But we never let it show You kiss like a funeral And I cannot let you go [Interlude] Black shoes Slow turn Red wine Still burn Cold hands Warm breath Love sings Like death [Bridge] I do not want a harmless heart I want the storm that tears apart I want the hand that cuts the thread Then strokes the fever from my head But darling, this is not romance It is a wound that learned to dance It is a chapel full of smoke It is the kiss before we choke [Breakdown] Kiss me down Lay me low Say my name Make it slow Kiss me down Bury light Love me wrong Through the night [Build-up] The violins are gone But the bassline keeps us moving The roses turn to dust But the hunger keeps improving I know this is the end I know the bells are calling But your mouth is on my mouth And I love the way I am falling [Chorus] You kiss like a funeral Soft as a graveyard rose You kiss like a funeral And everybody knows We are dancing with the ending But we never let it show You kiss like a funeral And I cannot let you go [Chorus] You kiss like a funeral Sweet as a last refrain You kiss like a funeral And I ask for it again We are buried in the music We are married to the snow You kiss like a funeral And I cannot let you go [Outro] When morning breaks, the room is bare The black roses are not there But on my lips, your shadow stays A funeral that never fades
