Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You move like a midnight sermon Black dress like a closed confession Laugh low, say I look like heaven “C’mon angel, come learn your lesson” You trace where my faith starts shaking Cold hands where my ribs stop praying You say, “Tell me where your God is now” When my halo hits your mouth [Pre-Chorus] You drag your teeth through every promise Turn my “no” to “maybe I want this” Every scripture on my tongue goes numb When you say, “Don’t run” [Chorus] Lay me down in your serpent’s den Holy hands on unholy skin If I get burned, I’ll crawl again Seraph in your serpent’s den Halo slipping where your teeth have been Every sin tastes like medicine If I get saved, I’ll fall again Seraph in your serpent’s den [Verse 2] You talk like a choir on fire Soft hymns over sharpened wire You say, “You were built for altars Let me see how your halo falters” Fingertips draw crosses on me Nails dig like you’re gonna haunt me You swear you’re just killing time While you tattoo hell on my spine [Pre-Chorus] You turn my spine into a rosary Count each vertebra like you own me Every prayer I almost send above Drowns in your blood-warm love [Chorus] Lay me down in your serpent’s den Holy hands on unholy skin If I get burned, I’ll crawl again Seraph in your serpent’s den Halo slipping where your teeth have been Every sin tastes like medicine If I get saved, I’ll fall again Seraph in your serpent’s den [Bridge] Angel on my shoulder, looking away Demon in your bedroom, begging I stay Feathers on the floor with the clothes we shed Wings don’t work with your hands on my neck If this is worship, I’m past repent Tongue on the altar, taste of cement Crown made of barbed wire, pressed in deep You say, “Jump,” and I say, “How deep?” [Break / Alt Chorus – heavier] Bite down, let the halo break Cut lines in the vows I made If I walk out, I’m walking maimed Branded by the sound of your name Fang marks in my Sunday best Blood rain on my white-knit chest If I get free, I’ll crawl again Seraph in your serpent’s den [Final Chorus – big, drawn out] Lay me down in your serpent’s den Holy hands on unholy skin If I get burned, I’ll crawl again Seraph in your serpent’s den Halo slipping where your teeth have been Every sin tastes like medicine If I get saved, I’ll fall again Seraph in your serpent’s… den
