[Verse 1]
Black lipstick on the glass
He stares like he’s been hexed
I tilt my head
He spills his past
I barely whispered "next"
Studded heels on sticky floors
They trip over their tongues
One sharp look
They beg for more
And I’m already done
[Chorus]
I’m the shadow that they chase
Velvet in their veins
Every boy a borrowed plaything
Every heart a chain
I don’t fall into their arms
I pull on their strings
Goth girl crown
I wear it proud
I own everything
[Verse 2]
He calls me "perfect"
"pure"
I laugh behind my rings
He thinks he’s leading
Sure
While I’m tightening the strings
Tattoo peeking
Eyes like knives
He confesses every sin
He thinks I might just save his life
I’m writing how it ends
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hands on my hips
They worship
Kneel in the dark
They plead
I bless
I curse
I smirk
I turn
They follow where I lead
[harsh vocals]
You think you’re hunting me?
You’re just another flame
Moths in love with getting burned
You even beg for blame
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
[crescendo]
Say my name
Say my name
While you hand me all your power
Say my name
Say my name
Watch me bloom and watch you cower
