[Intro]
Got my window cracked
Smell of rain and fear
You said
"Turn the lights off
Baby
I’m already here"
[Verse 1]
Black boots on the carpet
Bloody prints like art
You hang your blade beside my bed
Then climb into my heart
You say they talked about me
So you made 'em choke on words
I sip my wine and trace your glove
Pretend I hadn’t heard
[Pre-Chorus]
You call my phone
Breathing slow
Ask me who I’d
Die for most
I say your name
You laugh low
"I’d rather kill for you"
[Chorus]
Kiss me through the mask
My love
Cut my conscience
Make it hush
Every scream you steal at night
Sounds like proof that I’m enough
Wrap that robe around my waist
Drag me closer to the blade
If this is wrong
I like it rough
Kiss me through the mask
My love
[Verse 2]
Got a polaroid on the dresser
Of you in my hallway
Roses on my doorstep
Still dripping from the fray
You wipe your hands on my t-shirt
Say
"Baby
Don’t be scared"
But my pulse writes you a love note
In the copper on the stairs
[Pre-Chorus]
You call my name
From the dark
Say
"Pick a friend
I’ll break their heart"
Then whisper
"Joke"
But I just laugh
'Cause I know what you do
[Chorus]
Kiss me through the mask
My love
Cut my conscience
Make it hush
Every scream you steal at night
Sounds like proof that I’m enough
Wrap that robe around my waist
Drag me closer to the blade
If this is wrong
I like it rough
Kiss me through the mask
My love
[Bridge]
They say run
I say stay
They see death
I see fate
They hear slashing
I hear faith
In the vows you never made
You carve my initials
In their perfect little town
Baby
That’s commitment
Written in the ground (oh)
[Chorus]
Kiss me through the mask
My love
Cut my conscience
Make it hush
Every scream you steal at night
Sounds like proof that I’m enough
Wrap that robe around my waist
Drag me closer to the blade
If this is hell
I’ll light it up
Kiss me through the mask
My love
[Outro]
Phone ringing on the pillow
Your voice low
"Guess who?"
"Ask me one more twisted question"
I’ll still choose you
