Lyrics
Sweet to the sweet…
Hush now, don’t turn away
I’ve lived in the dust of your daylight
In chalk lines children erased
I’m the stain in the plaster
The breath in the room
The lesson you tried to forget
But grief always blooms
Without your fear I am silence
Without your eyes I don’t live
So come taste the dark with me, darling—
There’s only one gift left to give
⸻
Chorus (soaring, romantic-menacing)
Sweet to the sweet, come walk into the fire
Leave your name where the candles expire
Pain is a doorway, not something to flee
Step through the shadow with me
Sweet to the sweet, let the whole world see
Love is the wound that makes us a memory
Hold to my hand when the last heartbeats meet
Sweet…
Sweet to the sweet
⸻
Bridge (quiet → building, seductive philosophy)
The hurt will shimmer like honey on skin
A beautiful ache drawing you in
What is a life if it vanishes whole?
Dust with no echo, no mark on the soul
But legends are louder than breathing
And stories outlive every scream
If they speak us forever
We’re never gone—
We’re the nightmare they dream
(drums begin pounding, choir rises)
So stand with me
Be seen with me
Let them tremble when history calls—
We won’t fade into nothing
We’ll rise—
Written on walls
⸻
Final Chorus (full gothic trailer, huge tenor belt)
Sweet to the sweet, now don’t be afraid
Death is a door that the faithful have made
Eyes on the crowd as the curtain falls deep
They’ll carry our names in their sleep
Sweet to the sweet, eternity’s kiss
Nothing is lost if it lingers like this
Together we burn, together we bleed
Sweet—
SWEET TO THE SWEET
