[Verse 1]
Found you under buzzing signs
Cheap mascara
Crooked smile
Blue eyes cutting through the smoke
Like they already knew my ghost
Your laugh hit my starving nerves
Every pulse in me reversed
I could hear your heartbeat sing
Saying my forgotten name
[Chorus]
Your blue blood’s calling
Calling me home
Venom in my veins
Screaming “let go”
But I’d rather burn
Than taste that skin
So I’ll stand between you
And the monsters who look like me again
(blue-eyed hunger)
Killing me slow from within
[Verse 2]
Every alley hums with teeth
Every shadow wants to feed
They can smell you on my coat
Sugar on a sharpened throat
I walk circles ‘round your street
Feral choir under my skin
Every time you pass by me
I feel every ancient sin
[Chorus]
Your blue blood’s calling
Calling me home
Venom in my veins
Screaming “let go”
But I’d rather burn
Than taste that skin
So I’ll stand between you
And the monsters who look like me again
(blue-eyed hunger)
Killing me slow from within
[Bridge]
I could end this ache
With a single bite
Turn your summer veins
Into endless night
But you look at me
Like I’m almost human
So I bare my fangs
At the ones who’d use them
[Chorus]
Your blue blood’s calling
Calling me home
Venom in my veins
Screaming “let go”
But I’d rather burn
Than taste that skin
So I’ll stand between you
And the monsters who look like me again
(blue-eyed hunger)
If I ever taste you
That’s the night the world caves in
