[Verse 1]
Red dress
Chapel pews
Bare feet on the cold stone floor
Candles drip like my excuses
I taste sin
Still asking for more
They line up
Shadows at midnight
Whisper bargains in my ear
"Just one kiss
Just one more heartbeat"
I drink them down
Then disappear
[Chorus]
I'm a soul-gathering succubus praying
Honey on the altar
Poison on my tongue
I say "Lord
I love You" while I'm slaying
This hunger in my bones still pulling me numb
You know every room they empty out
Every hollow carved inside my chest
Demons come and pour me on the ground
But somehow You still call me blessed
[Verse 2]
Halo in my bedside drawer
Wings stuffed in a plastic bag
Mascara like a crooked river
Running through the things I drag
They touch me
I turn to winter
Watch their color fade to gray
I write scriptures on my mirror
Then wipe them off at break of day
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
On the bathroom tiles
I choke on air
Eyes rolled back
They’re laughing everywhere
They leave me blank
Just skin and breath
An echo
Flirting with my death
[whispered vocals]
Then a hand I cannot see
Lifts my chin so I can breathe
"Little monster
Little lamb
I still know exactly who you am"
[crescendo]
Oil on my forehead
Fire in my veins
Blessing in the middle of the bloodstains
I’m chained to the dark till the timing is right
But You already wrote me a robe of white
[Chorus]
