Before I Knew
[Verse]
He swam among the stars in my sky
Before his gentle hands could even try
To trace the lines upon my face
He filled the silence...He left no space.
[Chorus]
Before I knew
Before I knew
What his hands could even do
He touched my soul
He broke the night
Before I knew...
his hands felt right
Before I knew
[Verse 2]
Flowers danced where his sunlight bloomed
He built a fire with no matches or wood
With every glance, he stole my air
He wasn’t there yet
he was always there
[Prechorus]
I thought I’d break
I thought I’d fall
But he kept me safe before it all
[Chorus]
Before I knew
Before I knew
What his hands could even do
He touched my soul
He broke the night
Before I knew ...
his hands felt right
Before I knew
[Bridge]
Now the weight of him
Is just a ghostly flame
In my heart he carved his name
Oh, he did
He carved his name
He claimed me as his own
On walls I thought were made of stone
[Chorus]
Before I knew
Before I knew
What his hands could even do
He touched my soul
He broke the night
Before I knew his hands felt right
Before I knew

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
