[Verse 1]
You said you love me
But you’re packing every dream into a box
Smeared black lipstick on the mirror
Spells my name like a curse in the fog
You said you need me
While you’re carving little scars down my belief
Kissed my eyelids
Then you twisted every promise into grief
[Chorus]
You said you love me
But you wanna leave
You said you need me
Yet you make me always bleed
Hands on my heart
Like you’re trying to make it scream
Drag me through the dark
’til I bleed when I believe
[Verse 2]
Cold glass halo
On the nightstand where your halo used to sit
Tore our picture into pieces
Left the eyes intact so they still stare at me
You light a candle
Just to watch the wax run like my veins
Say I’m your savior
Then you drown me in your sympathy and shame
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Tell me
Is this mercy
Or a ritual of slow decay?
Are you praying over me
Or just waiting for my faith to break? [crescendo]
I’d tear your shadow from my skin
But you’re buried in my teeth
Every “stay” sounds like “goodbye”
Every kiss makes me
[Chorus]
