Velvet Razor Halo

[Verse 1]
Black leather Bible
Lipstick on the page
You trace every warning
Like a line you crave
Your halo’s hanging
From a bathroom hook
You bless the mirror
With that feral look

On that altar in your eyes
Velvet razor halo
Yeah
It always takes its tithe
[Verse 2]

Silver on your tongue
You swear this is the last one
As you chase the rush that’s gone
Glitter on the carpet
Boot prints on the bed
You crown yourself in ashes
From the bridges in your head
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Every promise
Carved into your wristwatch time
Every secret
Buried in a backstage shrine
Sober in the sunrise
Colors turning gray
You see the bodies of your yesterdays
Lined up in the hallway
[guitar solo]
