[Verse 1]
[M] I taste the rush in your mouth
[F] You bite the bruise right back
[M] Black ink under my nails
[F] Red thread in my tracks
[M] We came in wearing our scars
[F] Like badges from a war
[M] Your hand on my burning chest
[F] My key in your front door
[Pre-Chorus]
[M] Ecstasy in my veins
[F] Venom on your tongue
[M] Past crawling up the stairs
[F] Future on the run
[M] Say my name like a threat
[F] Say it like a prayer
[M] I hate what we become
[F] Still I want you there
[Chorus]
[M] Ecstasy, hate
[F] Venom, love
[M] Ecstasy, hate
[F] We rise, we crush
[M] Pain in the blood
[F] Past in the hands
[M] Future keeps pulling
[F] Us back again
(Maybe I forgive you)
(Ecstasy, hate)
[Verse 2]
[M] Your lipstick on the sink
[F] My boots by the bed
[M] A cracked photo on the shelf
[F] Two ghosts with a pulse instead
[M] We laugh like we’re not breaking
[F] We break like it’s a game
[M] Every kiss leaves a mark
[F] Every mark says your name
[Pre-Chorus]
[M] Ecstasy in my veins
[F] Venom on your tongue
[M] Past crawling up the stairs
[F] Future on the run
[M] Say my name like a threat
[F] Say it like a prayer
[M] I hate what we become
[F] Still I want you there
[Chorus]
[M] Ecstasy, hate
[F] Venom, love
[M] Ecstasy, hate
[F] We rise, we crush
[M] Pain in the blood
[F] Past in the hands
[M] Future keeps pulling
[F] Us back again
(Stay with me)
(Ecstasy, hate)
[Bridge]
[F] If I let go, you fall through
[M] If you leave, I split in two
[F] The old me burns, the new one stays
[M] The night keeps changing shape
[Both] We are the wound
[Both] We are the cure
[Both] We are the past
[Both] And what comes next
[Chorus]
[M] Ecstasy, hate
[F] Venom, love
[M] Ecstasy, hate
[F] We rise, we crush
[M] Pain in the blood
[F] Past in the hands
[M] Future keeps pulling
[F] Us back again
(Ecstasy, hate)
(Ecstasy, hate)
