[Verse 1]
Black nails on my back
Carved your name in my grin
Thought it was love
Just impact
Bruises blooming under my skin
Every kiss
A command
Every touch
A new cage
You rewired my hands
To clap for my own decay
[Pre-Chorus]
You drag me down by the hips
Sweet venom on your lips
I taste the trap again
I taste the trap again
[Chorus]
Chains on my skin
You’re the weight I crave
I’m clawing for the door of the bed you made
Body like a curse that I still defend
I’m biting through the links just to feel them again
Chains on my skin
Pulling me back in
I’m losing this war that I swore I’d win
[Verse 2]
You twist truth like a blade
Say I’m broken if I leave
You script the lines I say
Till I choke on what I believe
Your silhouette’s a command
My pulse marches on your cue
I reach out for my own hand
But it’s already tied to you
[Pre-Chorus]
You drag me down by the hips
Sweet venom on your lips
I taste the trap again
I taste the trap again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Rip at the ropes
They tighten
Pull and they cut me deeper
You smile as my knuckles whiten
Call it “home” while I go weaker
[crescendo]
Let the ribs crack open
Let the spell bleed out
Tear you off my conscience
Rage louder than your doubt
[guttural]
This flesh is not your altar
This heart is not your throne
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
