The Collector
Naerion
Don't you move, the lighting is divine
Shadows hit your skin, a perfect line
Hold that breath, don't fog the glass
Let the chaotic moments pass
You look so fragile, wings spread wide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
They call it kidnapping, I call it art
I'm just protecting your delicate heart
Stay very still, darling, don't make a sound
Perfection is lost once it touches the ground
You're my favorite piece upon the shelf
A diamond shining only for myself
I don't want your love, I want your form
Safe from the cold, safe from the storm
Pinned in the case, you're finally mine
My butterfly frozen, suspended in time
Click, click, click, click, click
Lock the door
Click, click, click, click, click
Breathe no more
So cold, so sweet
My masterpiece
I fix your pose, tilt up your chin
Don't let the ugly tears begin
Water damages the porcelain skin
That is a crime, that is a sin
Immortality inside this room
A golden trophy within the gloom
They say I'm crazy, I say I'm a curator
Saving you from the world for later
Stay very still, the pin is sharp and cold
But it keeps you young, you will never grow old
You're my favorite piece upon the shelf
A diamond shining only for myself
I don't want your love, I want your form
Safe from the cold, safe from the storm
Pinned in the case, you're finally mine
My butterfly frozen, suspended in time
Click, click, click, click, click
Lock the door
Click, click, click, click, click
Breathe no more
So cold, so sweet
My masterpiece
Top shelf: The panic in your eyes
Second shelf: The way your spirit dies
Third one: The scent of your perfume
Fourth one: The silence in the room
I catalog every single little breath
A beautiful dance right on the edge of death
You aren't a person, you are a prize
Look at me now with those glass eyes
You're my favorite piece upon the shelf (so quiet)
I don't want your love, I want your form (so perfect)
Pinned in the case, you're finally mine
My butterfly
Click, click, click, click, click
Lock the door
Click, click, click, click, click
Breathe no more
So cold, so sweet
My masterpiece
Don't flutter
Dust is settling
Forever
