Rust-Tasted Halo

Bite marks on my fingers

From dialing your name

You come in like a fever

Burn holes through my veins

Empty pill on the nightstand

You in my bloodstream still

You’re the scar that keeps reopening

The wound that loves the thrill

You’re my pain

Love

Drug

I’m crawling back again (again)

Every hit

Every hug

Is gasoline and rain

I keep choking on your halo

Rust and sugar on my tongue

You’re my pain

Love

Drug

And I can’t spit you out

I’m spun (hey!)

Cold sweat on the bedsheet

Your echo in my jaw

Every kiss was a car crash

Slow motion

Made of glass and awe

You say I’m sick and you’re sorry

But you pour another dose

I keep shaking

Keep mistaking

You for something holy

Close

You’re my pain

Love

Drug

I’m crawling back again (again)

Every hit

Every hug

Is gasoline and rain

I keep choking on your halo

Rust and sugar on my tongue

You’re my pain

Love

Drug

And I can’t spit you out

I’m spun

Rip you out of my teeth

But the taste stays the same

I am breaking the mirror

Still it spells out your name

You’re my pain

Love

Drug

I’m crawling back again (again)

Every hit

Every hug

Is gasoline and rain

I keep choking on your halo

Rust and sugar on my tongue

You’re my pain

Love

Drug

I’ll burn you out

Or be undone
