[Verse 1 – Male]
I write your name
In the cut on my thumb
Green eyes in my head
Like venom in my lungs
You laugh like a blade
Dragged slow down my spine
Every word that you spit
Turns the water into wine
[Chorus – Both]
I use my blood for ink
Spill you all over the page
Every line is a wound I reopen
Every vow is a cage
Yeah
Your beauty is a curse
That I’m begging to drink
If I can’t have your heart
Peyton
I’ll pour you out in red
I use my blood for ink
[Verse 2 – Female]
You call it love
I call it a spell
You’d crawl on broken glass
For a postcard from my hell (oh yeah)
You taste like ruin
On the back of my teeth
Say you’d burn out your lungs
Just to breathe what I breathe
[Chorus – Both]
I use my blood for ink
Spill you all over the page
Every line is a wound I reopen
Every vow is a cage
Yeah
Your beauty is a curse
That you’re dying to drink
If you can’t have my heart
Baby
You’ll pour me out in red
You’ll use your blood for ink
[Bridge – Both]
[808s drop
Vocal nearly a whisper]
Say fuck it
Cut it deeper
Let it puddle on the floor
Trace my hips in crimson fingers
Write “forever” on the door (hey)
If this is wrong
We’ll make it art
Two ghosts in the dark
Sharing one black heart
[Chorus – Both]
I use my blood for ink
Spill you all over the page
Every line is a wound I reopen
Every vow is a cage
Yeah
Our beauty is a curse
That we’re learning to drink
If love is just a grave
Peyton
We’ll sign it with a blade
We’ll use our blood for ink
