Blood Like Perfume

Broken glass and bitter taste

Your shadow burns across my face

I'm drenched in what you left behind

A crimson ghost inside my mind

Petals black with what we've done

I wear the dark, I wear the gun

Dripping down, can't wash it out

This is what I'm all about

I'll wear your blood like perfume

Soaking through the living room

Beauty born from all the pain

Scarlet stains that won't explain

I'll wear your blood like perfume

Dancing in this dark cocoon

Crown me king of what's been spilled

Every drop, your will I've killed

Silk and steel and shattered bone

Made this temple, made it stone

You carved your name across my skin

Now I'm baptized in your sin

Roses wilt and fade to dust

Rust to rust and lust to lust

I'll wear your blood like perfume

Soaking through the living room

Beauty born from all the pain

Scarlet stains that won't explain

I'll wear your blood like perfume

Dancing in this dark cocoon

Crown me king of what's been spilled

Every drop, your will I've killed

Petals stained with crimson truth

Stripped of mercy, stripped of youth

I am the beast, I am the blade

In your blood, I am remade!!!……..RISE!!

I'll wear your blood like perfume

Soaking through the living room

Beauty born from all the pain

Scarlet stains that won't explain

I'll wear your blood like perfume

This is my eternal tomb

Crown me king of what's been spilled

Your blood, your death, your will I've killed
