[Verse 1]
Graveyard lilies lean and listen
Moon hangs crooked
Pale and thin
Stone rolls back with a lazy shiver
You stumble out
All bone and grin
Sunday silence cracks and crumbles
Halo rusted
Eyes run red
You kiss my wrist like it’s communion
Laughing
“Baby
I was never dead” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Easter teeth
You’re breaking through
Bloody smile and a love brand-new
You’re chewing through the garden gloom
As you crawl back into my room
Easter teeth
You’re back for me
Saints all scream but I still believe
If this is wrong
I’ll wear your crown
Bite my heart and drag me down
[Verse 2]
Choirboy suit still torn and muddy
Lipstick stains along your sleeve
You bow before the marble altar
Whisper
“Father
I forgot to leave”
You pluck a rabbit from the hedges
Soft fur brushing shattered palms
You feast like it’s a dark eucharist
While I hum along to funeral psalms (hey!)
[Chorus]
Easter teeth
You’re breaking through
Bloody smile and a love brand-new
You’re chewing through the garden gloom
As you crawl back into my room
Easter teeth
You’re back for me
Saints all scream but I still believe
If this is wrong
I’ll wear your crown
Bite my heart and drag me down
[Bridge]
You say
“Every resurrection hurts
So hold me while the hunger burns”
I trace your scars in crooked hearts
I’d follow you through every church that churns
[Chorus]
Easter teeth
You’re breaking through
Bloody smile and a love brand-new
You’re chewing through the garden gloom
As you crawl back into my room
Easter teeth
You’re back for me
Nails and thorns and ecstasy
If this is sin
Then strike the choir
Kiss my throat and set me on fire
