[Verse 1]
Black lace
On the backseat
Lipstick smeared
Like a crime scene
You say my name
Like a bad word
Pull my halo
Through the dirt
[Chorus]
You’re a velvet knife
Cutting slow through my defenses
Drag me to the edge
Make a sinner of my senses
If this is wrong
I wanna haunt it for a lifetime
Bleed me in your arms
Tie my heartbeat to your dark mind
[Verse 2]
Ring marks
On the altar
Candles drip
As your hands wander
Teeth on my neck
Like a promise
Every gasp
A black-rose chorus (oh)
[Chorus]
You’re a velvet knife
Cutting slow through my defenses
Drag me to the edge
Make a sinner of my senses
If this is wrong
I wanna haunt it for a lifetime
Bleed me in your arms
Tie my heartbeat to your dark mind
[Bridge]
Scratch my name
Into your ribs
Let me live
Under your skin
Holy
Unholy
Say it again
Pray with your mouth
Till the room spins (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re a velvet knife
Cutting slow through my defenses
Drag me to the edge
Make a sinner of my senses
If this is wrong
I wanna haunt it for a lifetime
Bleed me in your arms
Tie my heartbeat to your dark mind
