[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Skin like velvet
Your taste like wine
Come a little closer
Cross that line
[Verse 1]
Candle wax dripping on your spine, you shiver
Teeth on the pulse of your neck, I slither
Bite down slow, feel your halo rot
You pray in my hands but you like this spot
Red on your lips, yeah, I paint that sin
Tongue on your fear, let the hunger in
Grip on your throat like a holy chain
You call out a god, but you moan my name
[Chorus]
I’m your nightmare, but your sweetest dream
Crawl in your head, tear apart your seams
Velvet skin, taste of gasoline
You keep coming back to the in-between
I’m your nightmare, but your sweetest dream
Claws in your heart, ripping through the seams
Carnal desire in the black moonbeam
You keep coming back to the in-between
[Verse 2]
Fingernails drag down your ribs, you bleed
Little red script of a secret creed
You said “save me” with your hands on me
But your hips wrote out a different plea
Blackout sheets, hear the bedframe creak
I drink every lie that you spill, you’re weak
Holy water on your tongue, still shake
You love how I ruin every vow you break
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Say my name with your teeth on edge
Swear you’re done, but you’re on that ledge
You don’t want peace, you want that ache
You want that choke, you want that quake
[crescendo]
Hands on the scars that I carved last week
Kiss every bruise like a rosary bead
You are the lamb and the lamb can’t flee
You want the wolf and the wolf wants… bleed
[Chorus]
