Poison Air

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I step where the mist falls low Through the gate of black thorn glow Your mask smiles made of glass I know how long that charm can last [Verse 2] Roses bend when you draw near Every petal fills with fear Silver draught in your open hand I watch the dusk stain the land [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath Count to three There’s a crack In the sky above me Say my name Then run away This whole kingdom Starts to fray [Chorus] The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Breathe it in and lose your way The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Stay too long and fade away [Verse 3] Crowns of ivy, bones of gold Old lies glitter, sharp and cold You can trade me a dream for fire But I know the price you require [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath Count to three There’s a crack In the sky above me Say my name Then run away This whole kingdom Starts to fray [Chorus] The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Breathe it in and lose your way The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Stay too long and fade away [Bridge] If I fall, let the ash remember If I burn, let the dark go tender One last look at your hollow throne I’d rather choke than call this home [Final Chorus] The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Breathe it in and lose your way The Air is Poison The Air is Poison I am leaving while I can still say The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Stay too long and fade away
