A Different One - Self-Destruction Lyrics

Cut me open, rearrange
Every pattern you can find
Like a mirror thrown through flame
Shattering designs
Paint your violence on my skin
Till my borders start to blur
Let chaos bloom where I begin
Watch symmetry dissolve in her
Love me like an ending star
Collapsing into light
Dance me past these prison bars
Of who I am tonight
I'm devoted to the way
You break me into art
Let's make wreckage into grace
And call it love, and call it love
Each wound you give remakes my form
Like lightning through a butterfly
I'm tired of this human storm
These boundaries that classify
They say I'm self-destructing fast
In this passion's ruby hue
But darling, nothing meant to last
Should cage what's wild and new
Love me like an ending star
Collapsing into light
Dance me past these prison bars
Of who I am tonight
I'm devoted to the way
You break me into art
Let's make wreckage into grace
And call it love, and call it love
My mother weeps for who I was
That careful girl of glass
But in your chaos I've become
A force that's built to pass
Through shapes and names and certainties
Through every perfect lie
Till nothing's left but ecstasy
And shadows learning how to fly
Kill me slow like heroin dreams
Coursing through corrupted veins
Dance me past these mortal seams
Till nothing pure remains
I'm devoted to the way
You break my heart
Let's make wreckage into art
And call it love, and call it love
They'll find these ashes when we're done
And mourn what used to be
But fire children of the sun
Know burning sets us free
In your beautiful violence
I'll finally come undone
Dancing past these tired fences
Till all my masks are gone
