Creep

I wanna be your creep

The devil in your sheets

The name you bite your tongue on

The secret that you keep

I wanna be your curse

The one that makes it worse

The habit you keep feeding

Even knowing what it’s worth

Slide through your mind like smoke

Heavy in your lungs

Whisper what you’re scared to say

Taste it on your tongue

I like you when you’re reckless

Mascara running black

Halfway to forgiveness

But always crawling back

You wear your damage pretty

Like blood beneath gold chains

And I keep pulling at your stitches

Just to watch you break

You know I’m bad for your soul

But you love losing control

I wanna be your creep

The thing beneath your skin

The fever in your bloodstream

The chaos settling in

I wanna be your drug

Your hands around my throat

The high that leaves you shaking

But still keeps you close

You call me after midnight

Voice dripping like sin

Saying you hate what I do to you

While begging me back in

Love you like a knife edge

Soft touch, sharp pain

Kiss you where it hurts most

Then disappear again

We’re poison in a glass cup

Sip slow, let it burn

Every lesson that we kill

Is one we never learn

I live inside your weak spots

Your cracks, your bad decisions

You wear me like a sickness

A beautiful addiction

Say my name in anger

Say it like a prayer

Even when you leave me

You still leave me there

I wanna be your creep

The dark side of your peace

The shadow in your bedroom

That never really leaves

I wanna be your curse

Your sweetest kind of hurt

If love is just destruction

Then baby let it work
