Seanan McGuire - I Am lyrics

I am the song of the rose-owl flying I am the forest of the night I am the joy of the spring in dying I am your darkness and delight I am... Honey on a razorblade I am fire on your skin I am standing on your threshold Spread yourself and let me in And I'll be you I am the winter wolf that haunts you I am the thorn-briar in your hand I am the labyrinth that daunts you You are the king, but I'm the land I am... Hemlock in a wineglass I am reason wearing thin I am silence, I am screaming Close your eyes and let me in And I'll be you {Chorus} I am dancing in the moonlight, I am beauty with no heart I am stories told by twilight, I am torture as an art I am happy ever after left to sour and turn to dust I am madness, I am laughter, I am nothing you should trust I'm a pretty poison apple hiding something dark within I'm the thorn that blinds the princess, I am hiding in your skin, I am... I am... I am the hidden, secret garden I am the lock that steals the key I am the crime that has no pardon I am sum and whole of me I am... Absinthe in an open wound I am ashes on the wind I am Snow White stained and fallen Drop your guard and let me in And I'll be you You are the mask that I've been wearing You are the shadow in the glass You are the puppet past the caring I am the snake deep in the grass I am... Roses at your tombstone I am where we both begin You are only smoke and rosedust Let it go and let me in And I'll be you I'll be you I've always been you
