[Intro]
[band count-in
Sudden blast]
Paper hearts in a pile of ash
Candy teeth in a broken glass
Plastic roses on a fresh-dug grave
Happy Valentine’s
Dig your own damn cage (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Stuff your chocolates in the wound
Sugar rots
It feeds the tomb
Every promise tastes like rust
Cupid’s arrow drips with lust
Dead bouquet on the kitchen sink
Cheap red wine
Watch our hatred drink
[Chorus]
Rotten Valentine
Choke on your roses
All your pink lies
Breaking our throats
Rotten Valentine
Tear up the letters
Love is a chainsaw
Chewing through hope
Rotten Valentine
Bleeding confetti
All that “forever” was dressed up in fraud
Rotten Valentine
I spit in your halo
Crush your glass heart under cracked black boots of God
[Verse 2]
Couples posing in a traffic jam
Posting bliss for the sacrificial scam
Ring-shaped trap in a velvet box
Wrap the shackle
Call it “paradox”
Stuffed red toy with its stitched fake smile
Rip the seams
Let the fluff drip bile
[Pre-Chorus]
Why should I kneel to a calendar date?
Why should my worth weigh on someone else’s gaze?
Your greeting card saints sell scripted affection
I’d rather rot alone than buy that infection (yeah!)
[Chorus]
Rotten Valentine
Choke on your roses
All your pink lies
Breaking our throats
Rotten Valentine
Tear up the letters
Love is a chainsaw
Chewing through hope
Rotten Valentine
Bleeding confetti
All that “forever” was dressed up in fraud
Rotten Valentine
I spit in your halo
Crush your glass heart under cracked black boots of God
[Bridge]
Heart-shaped box
It’s a burial vault
Wrap it in ribbons
Disguise the assault
Say it’s romance as you tighten the chain
Call it devotion while you sharpen the blade (sharpen the blade)
I’m not your prize
I’m not your prey
Burn this day
Burn this day
[Chorus]
Rotten Valentine
Choke on your roses
All your pink lies
Breaking our throats
Rotten Valentine
Tear up the letters
Love is a chainsaw
Chewing through hope
Rotten Valentine
Bleeding confetti
All that “forever” was dressed up in fraud
Rotten Valentine
I spit in your halo
Crush your glass heart under cracked black boots of God
[Outro]
[double-time blast
Dissonant arpeggio climb]
Happy Valentine’s
I’ll spend it
Dancing
On its grave
