Lyrics:
You are my saviour, you are my grave
You hold the knife, I'll be the blade
You are my woman, you are my drug
Don't tell me you need me, tell me I'm wrong
We are in danger we are in love
We are a faerytale, we are a song
We don't fire, we don't need light
We have each other, together we fight
Your teeth fit my wound
I'll show you my bruises
Kick at me, bite at me
You win, I'll lose this one
We are a fantasy
We are mythology
You are a goddess
I am a deity
World, show me your worst
Amongst all the darkness, will you find joy
Can we create, do we only destroy
We are combustible, fire and air
Will you be smothered, or will I burn
You say you're sorry, I'll say a prayer
Maybe through trying, hope will be born
It's not impossible, just inconceivable
You say you love me, so say you believe me
Your teeth fit my wound
I'll show you my bruises
Kick at me, bite at me
You win, I'll lose this one
We are a fantasy
We are mythology
I am a goddess
You are a deity
Oh, tell me it hurts
You're half a person, I'm half a soul
In this dance together, we'll pass as whole
I hold your hand, you hold my breath
I am the fire that leaves you cold
Heaviest of burdens, light as a feather
Can you carry my life on your shoulders
You are my last hope, sing for me dear
This is our eulogy, this is our prayer
And it's you against me, me against you
Will we see this one through
I'll fight for you, we'll take it in turns
And it's you and me against the world
Your teeth fit my wound
I'll show you my bruises
Kick at me, bite at me
You win, I'll lose this one
We are a fantasy
We are mythology
I am a goddess
You are a deity
World, show me your worst
Oh, tell me it hurts
World, show me your worst
