[Verse 1]
You smell the whiskey
On my breath
Before I even cross
The doorway
Photos on the fridge
All crooked
Like the way
My past still leans on me
Mama on the phone
In the kitchen
Saying, "Boy, you act
Just like him"
Same slow poison
Same cold eyes
Same sharp tongue
That bites who loves it
[Chorus]
This is my twisted little heaven
Halo made of smoke and ash
Kissing you with broken habits
Hoping you don’t kiss ‘em back
Animal inside my rib cage
Scratching up the love we had
I’m unhinged, I’m unholy
Still begging you
To hold me back
[Verse 2]
You read my messages
In silence
Her name hanging
Heavy in the air
I hear my father
In my answers
How I dodge, how I
Pretend I care
Wedding ring
On the nightstand
Teeth marks
In your favorite glass
Every promise
That I fed you
Came out copper
Came out black
[Chorus]
This is my twisted little heaven
Halo made of smoke and ash
Kissing you with broken habits
Hoping you don’t kiss ‘em back
Animal inside my rib cage
Scratching up the love we had
I’m unhinged, I’m unholy
Still begging you
To hold me back
[Bridge]
I was the scared kid
Under the table
Watching love
Turn into war
Learned that hurt is how
You stay alive
So I keep
Asking you for more (more, more)
Predatory in the mirror
I can taste
The fear I bring
If I chain myself
To this forgiveness
Will you still wear
My ring?
[Chorus]
This is my twisted little heaven
Halo made of smoke and ash
Kissing you with broken habits
Hoping you don’t kiss ‘em back
Animal inside my rib cage
Scratching up the love we had
I’m unhinged, I’m unholy
Still begging you
To hold me back
[Outro]
If I burn this cycle
To the ground
Will you stand
Inside the flame?
Or leave this
Unhinged, wild creature
To choke inside
His father’s name
