[Verse 1]
You lean in the doorway
Shadows cling to your frame
Bleach-smile in the blackness
You pretend you forgot my name
Tall like a warning
Every scar spelled in ink
I trace every symbol
Just to see if you still bleed
[Chorus]
Josh
You’re the dark I keep around
Tattooed hands on my throat when I’m spiraling down
You say
“You’re safe
” but you lock every door
I know I should run
I just want you more
Josh
You’re the bruise that never fades
Breathing in the smoke of the mess we made
If love is a curse
Then I’m under your command
Pull me deeper
Deeper
With that ink on your hands
[Verse 2]
You talk about mercy
With a laugh that cuts in two
Say the world tried to break you
So you learned how to break it first too
You kiss like confession
In a room with all the lights killed
Every promise tastes bitter
Every touch gives me a chill
[Chorus]
Josh
You’re the dark I keep around
Tattooed hands on my throat when I’m spiraling down
You say
“You’re safe
” but you lock every door
I know I should run
I just want you more
Josh
You’re the bruise that never fades
Breathing in the smoke of the mess we made
If love is a curse
Then I’m under your command
Pull me deeper
Deeper
With that ink on your hands
[Bridge]
Write your name along my ribs (oh)
Mark me so I can’t forget
Call it love
Call it a sin
Either way
I’m in your net
[Chorus]
Josh
You’re the dark I keep around
Tattooed hands on my throat when I’m spiraling down
You say
“You’re safe
” but you lock every door
I know I should run
I just want you more
Josh
You’re the bruise that never fades
Breathing in the smoke of the mess we made
If love is a curse
Then I’m under your command
Pull me deeper
Deeper
With that ink on your hands
