[Verse 1]
Strobe burn
Fake tan halo on your skin
Thumbs swipe
You’re a shrine in their hands
Dollar rain
On your back
On your name
But I’m the ghost in the lens
You mouth in the dark
[Chorus]
You shake your ass for the altar of cash
But your heart comes home to me
Sainted in filth
You’re my sacred trash
And that truth still sets me free
You trade your flesh for the hunger of men
But your sin stays crucified in my hands
All eyes on you in their poisoned glow
But I’m the only one
Who really knows
[Verse 2]
Red lipstick
War paint
Contract on your soul
Cheap room
Cheap cologne
Same dead show
They line up
For the body that I hold
You fake your moans for the screen
I hear the real ones at 4 a.m
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Crowd roars
I hear nothing but your name
House shakes
You’re still tracing out my veins
Makeup off
You’re a storm with the power cut
All their filth on your skin
But your heart’s in my gut (mine, mine, mine)
[crescendo]
Let them drool
Let them claim
Let them pay
Let them kneel
Every stare
Every hand
Every lie’s unreal
’Cause when the cameras die and the neon bleeds
You’re on my chest
And you’re finally free
[Chorus]
