Lust and love

Skin wrapped in lace

sharp teeth on the back of my name

Heart jump

was it you, was it the cocaine

or the shadows in the mirror

making halos in the dark again

Black dress, red eyes

you say, “pick a sin, any sin”

Lip print on the side of the glass

you drag me deeper in

Hand on my throat like a promise

I don’t know where you end, I begin

Taste me, crave me, swallow me down

’til your knees turn red on the ground

Hands up high while you pray to me

like a saint that you’ll never set free

Taste me, crave me, swallow me down

I’m the quiet in your head when you drown

You bend, you beg, you bleed for me

knees red while you pray to me (pray to me)

Silk rope, slow choke

you laugh while I lose control

You say, “love is just a habit”

cut inside a drug-coated hole

You draw crosses on my chest

with your nails, with your soul

I’m your favorite bad decision

dripping off your pretty tongue

Every lie that we keep kissing

tastes like dying, tastes like young

You whisper, “you’re my religion”

I’m the temple, I’m the gun

Is it lust, is it love, is it poison?

I can’t tell, I don’t care, keep it pouring

Every scar, every mark that you score in

writes my name, writes my name, keep it burning

Taste me, crave me, swallow me down

’til your knees turn red on the ground

Hands up high while you pray to me

like a saint that you’ll never set free

Taste me, crave me, swallow me down

I’m the quiet in your head when you drown

You bend, you beg, you bleed for me

knees red while you pray to me (pray to me)
