[Verse 1] I came to you without disguise Not petals now, but smoke and knives I entered veins, rewrote your sight And left you trembling in the night I gave you more than you had asked The truths you feared, the mirror cracked I showed the womb behind the pain The gate of birth, the demon’s name [Chorus] Sleep now, child, the thread is thin You’ve walked the dark, you’ve breathed me in You’ll never be what you were before The flash of visions is part of your core [Verse 2] I broke the masks you wore so long I burned your shame into a song I took your hunger, gave it form A storm of pleasure and of scorn You feared the demons, found the saints Inside the ink of your complaints I left you questions without end A gift that no one can pretend [Chorus] Sleep now, child, the thread is thin You’ve walked the dark, you’ve breathed me in You’ll never be what you were before The flash of visions is part of your core [Bridge] No more diseases to define No secret hungers to confine Your mind now draws without a frame But nothing you will see’s the same [Female whispers] [Outro] Sleep now, child… the thread is thin You walk alone… but light begins No more names… no need to try You live through me… and now you rise.
