[VERSE 1]
Candle wax dripping down your ribcage, red stain on white
Shadow puppets on the drywall, dancing slow in the low light
You pull me in like confession, mouth pressed over my sins
Say “get on your knees, boy,” I don’t even know where to begin
Velvet hymn on your whisper, fingernails under my skin
You got a choir in your breathing, singing “don’t you dare repent”
[PRE]
Every heartbeat sounds like church bells breaking
Every breath you steal feels holy and vacant
[CHORUS]
You got an altar in your thighs, I’m worshipping between them
Tongue on your halo while your halo’s slowly bleeding
You ride me like a sermon, hands wrapped in my hair
If this is sacrilege, I don’t care…
Make a martyr out of me under flickering lights
I’ll find God in the tremor of your spine ….tonight
[VERSE 2]
Lipstick smeared on my collar, like a blessing gone wrong
You trace a cross on my chest, say “boy, you’ve been dirty too long”
You taste like wine and danger, like a psalm that got banned
Drag your teeth down my neck, write scripture in bite marks and hands
Headboard knocking like a drumline, stained glass in your eyes
You tell me “speak in tongues,” and I do, between your sighs
[PRE]
Every shiver feels like thunder in the rafters
Every scratch you leave rewrites my …chapter
[CHORUS]
You got an altar in your thighs, I’m worshipping between them
Tongue on your halo while your halo’s slowly bleeding
You ride me like a sermon, hands wrapped in my hair
If this is sacrilege, I don’t care…
Make a martyr out of me under flickering lights
I’ll find God in the tremor of your spine …..tonight
[BRIDGE – QUIET / THEN ERUPT]
(soft)
Kiss me like a warning sign…
Drag me to the edge of your design…
Make me choose between my faith and your nails in my back…
(scream)
AND I’LL CRAWL TO YOUR BED LIKE IT’S MY LAST ATTACK
[BREAKDOWN (Whisper)]
I DON’T WANT SALVATION, I JUST WANT YOU
HALO ON THE FLOOR, SWEAT LIKE PERFUME
PRAY WITH YOUR HIPS, SPEAK WITH YOUR TEETH
BAPTIZE ME IN WHATEVER YOU BLEED
IF THIS IS HELL THEN TURN THE HEAT HIGH
I’LL DIE SMILING BETWEEN YOUR THIGHS
[FINAL CHORUS]
You got an altar in your thighs, I’m worshipping between them
Tongue on your halo while your halo’s slowly bleeding
You ride me like a sermon, nails buried in my skin
If this is blasphemy, then let the sin begin
Make a martyr out of me under flickering lights
I’ll meet God in the tremor of your spine ….tonight
