[Verse 1]
You say my hands are always freezing
Veins like violet winter streams
You trace my throat
You call me lovely
You never ask what that means
Black lace on the kitchen counter
Candles sweating down in time
You kiss my jaw
You call me honey
You never notice the knives
[Chorus]
Drink me
Drink me
Crimson like me
Let it stain your pretty mouth
’Til you taste what I can see
Drink me
Drink me
Swear you won’t leave
If you love me for a lifetime
You can love me on your knees
[Verse 2]
Glass vial on a silver necklace
Clinks against your borrowed cross
You say it’s just a little costume
You don’t feel the ticking clock
I slice a line across my laughter
Catch the shimmer in a cup
You watch it swirl like dark disaster
[whispered] Baby
Are you brave enough?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You always said you hated aging
Crow’s feet
Candles on the cake
I can freeze your every heartbeat
If you give me one small shake
Your hands around the tiny chalice
Your eyes locked into my face
“I wanna stay this young forever”
Careful what you dare to taste
[Chorus]
