Bloodless

I wish I didn't get you 

Wish you were a fear

Wish I didn't let you 

Touch me with your spirit 

I can see right through you 

bloodless and transparent 

I know I knew before you 

Were my heir apparent 

Chorus

My lonely apparition 

Embrace me in a whisper 

touch me to the skin and bone

Like a frosty sliver 

Ill met my painting O the moon

I have no drear regret  

I am your host angelic

Your angel of death

All that flesh is heir to

Holy as an ember 

I want to the garden of love 

when I can't remember 

Walk through the wall 

Rattle your chains 

Wail in the hall 

You drive me insane 

Thrash in the armour 

Go boo in the night 

Frighten the Gardner 

Put out the light 

You're as cold as gravity 

You're as warm as salt 

Slight of broken travesty 

The skeleton in my vault

Chorus

My lonely apparition 

Embrace me in a whisper 

touch me to the skin and bone

Like a frosty sliver 

Ill met my painting O the moon

I have no drear regret  

I am your host angelic

Your angel of death

Bridge 

Walk through the wall with me

Don't be untrue 

If you want to be free

Give up your jewels

Let go of everything 

Your pity your measure 

Let love be your king 

Let go of your treasure

I forgive you darling

You stole my precious oil 

Put blossoms on your coffin 

your soul will be absolved 

Chorus

My lonely apparition 

Embrace me in a whisper 

touch me to the skin and bone

Like a frosty sliver 

Ill met my painting O the moon

I have no drear regret  

I am your host angelic

Your angel of death

I wish I didn't get you 

Wish you were a fear

Wish I didn't let you 

Touch me with your spirit 

I can see right through you 

bloodless 

bloodless

bloodless.
