[VERSE 1]
Sunday smile with your lipstick crooked, eyes like stained glass sin
You drag that halo down your throat, say “baby, let the service begin”
You taste like wine on a blackout, like a hymn that lost its shame
Fingers in the back of my hair while you whisper out my name
You put my mouth where your morals used to be, slow, no rush
Every curse you ever swallowed comes back out when we touch
[PRE]
Every breath you take rewrites my religion
Every little moan cuts clean through my vision
[CHORUS]
You put your halo on my tongue, make me speak in crooked praise
Every syllable is worship, every vowel is your name
Ride my lips like revelation, shaking under midnight lungs
If love’s a crime then load the gun…
Kiss me ‘til my conscience comes undone
Baby, keep your halo on my …..tongue
[VERSE 2]
You straddle my chest like a throne, dripping crowns on my teeth
Say “tell me I’m your only god,” I choke that prayer through your heat
Nails leaving gospel on my ribs, chapter, verse, and bruised heat
You pull the heaven from my lungs and drink it down like truth
Sweat like incense, sheets like smoke around our hips
Every “hallelujah” muffled on your skin and in my lips
[PRE]
Every shiver feels like thunder in the choir
Every grind writes another line of choir
[CHORUS]
You put your halo on my tongue, make me speak in crooked praise
Every syllable is worship, every vowel is your name
Ride my lips like revelation, shaking under midnight lungs
If love’s a crime then load the gun…
Kiss me ‘til my conscience comes undone
Baby, keep your halo on my ….tongue
[BRIDGE – QUIET / THEN ERUPT]
(soft)
Drag that circle down my chest, leave it burning on my throat
Make me choke on every promise that the preachers ever wrote
If redemption’s in your thighs and in the way you say my name…
(scream)
THEN I’LL BITE THAT HALO ‘TIL IT BENDS AND BURSTS INTO FLAME
[BREAKDOWN] (whisper)
NO SALVATION, JUST YOUR HANDS
PULLING ME DEEP WHERE THE CHOIR CAN’T STAND
WRITE YOUR PSALMS ON MY OPEN MOUTH
LET EVERY “AMEN” BE YOU BLACKING OUT
IF THIS IS HELL, THEN HELL FEELS RIGHT
HALO ON MY TONGUE ‘TIL WE BOTH SEE WHITE
[FINAL CHORUS]
You put your halo on my tongue, make me speak in crooked praise
Every syllable is worship, every vowel is your name
Ride my lips like revelation, shaking under midnight lungs
If love’s a crime then load the gun…
Shoot me where your heartbeat comes undone
Baby, keep your halo on my ….tongue
