You and me and us

Cigarettes on your tongue, taste like poison and perfume

Your shadow’s on the ceiling, dancing in my room

Eyes like sirens, pulling me under slow

Every kiss feels like fire, every word’s a ghost I know

And I don’t wanna breathe without the weight of you

Even if it kills me, I’ll choke on the truth

You’re a velvet smoke, creeping through my chest

A quiet kind of violence, I can’t second-guess

I’ll take the fall, I’ll take the bruise,

I’ll take whatever’s left—

Loving you feels just like

A beautiful death.

Cold hands, warm heart, but you never let me in

I’m drowning in your silence, baptized in your sin

Every lie tastes sweeter when it’s whispered in the dark

You burn like religion, and I’m tearing apart

And I don’t wanna leave if leaving means I’m free

Baby, pain is holy when you’re killing me

You’re a velvet smoke, creeping through my chest

A quiet kind of violence, I can’t second-guess

I’ll take the fall, I’ll take the bruise,

I’ll take whatever’s left—

Loving you feels just like

A beautiful death.

Bleed me out in slow motion

Keep my body in your ocean

Kiss me ‘til the lights fade black

I don’t care if I can’t come back

You’re a velvet smoke, creeping through my chest

A quiet kind of violence, I can’t second-guess

I’ll take the fall, I’ll take the bruise,

I’ll take whatever’s left—

Loving you feels just like

A beautiful death...
