[Verse 1]
Red wine on my tongue
Candle dripping on your chest
You say you want salvation
I just mark where I will test
Nails trace little crosses
Down the map of every scar
You pray into my shoulder
I answer like a hungry star (ah)
[Chorus]
Velvet claws on your halo
Drag it down to my bed of wrong
You taste like sin in slow echo
Every breath another wicked song
Say my name like a confession
While you’re drowning in my chains
Velvet claws
Your sweet obsession
Bleed your heaven into my veins
[Verse 2]
Teeth at your confession
Bite the sermons from your throat
Halo hanging from the headboard
As my fingers pull your coat
You tremble at the doorway
Still you beg me
“lead me in”
I wrap you in my darkness
Like a lover
Like a skin (yeah)
[Chorus]
Velvet claws on your halo
Drag it down to my bed of wrong
You taste like sin in slow echo
Every breath another wicked song
Say my name like a confession
While you’re drowning in my chains
Velvet claws
Your sweet obsession
Bleed your heaven into my veins
[Bridge]
Do you want out
Or deeper
Deeper
Tell me which burns more
Do you want light
Or fever
Fever
Crawling from the floor (come on)
[Chorus]
Velvet claws on your halo
Drag it down to my bed of wrong
You taste like sin in slow echo
Every breath another wicked song
Say my name like a confession
While you’re drowning in my chains
Velvet claws
Your sweet obsession
Bleed your heaven into my veins
