It has been frigid in the last demon's freezerI let him lick the blood from my wrists so maybe I could be her
We could be the crime scene molded by a soaked-up mattress
Red lips, salt in the slits, hard not to fetishize the parts in my life therapists said were disastrous
Put a knife to my throat but if you ever put it in my back
You will never get another chance
Give me something beautiful but keep it out of the bedroom
I would love for you to love me still want to be fucked like you hate to
Want to be the nicotine stuck to your lips
The taste of iron in a bittersweet kiss
If you can tell I have never been on good terms with my father
So, every step you take I can take it a step further
Need something far more chaotic than the madness in a hatter
Save me from my own self-made hell's and hurt me in a way that matters
Not quite sure if I am making sense
I want to be your baby, but I put all my worth into sex
Stuck in a constant state of survival
It is not any less genuine just a little more primal
Willing to fight any trying to take what is mine
What I hope will stay that way for as long as I am alive
Taking to heart every best friends' illiteracy
There is not a Goddamn soul other than me that knows what is best for me
Maybe it is not as black and white as a blessing or a curse
The same way it is not just faith that resides in a church
I will do my best to be everything, but it may never be perfect
There are sins far behind comprehension even in places of worship
Crazy does not seem to fully explain it
We were driving past ghosts sitting on the pavement
But there was a hand in mine
And for a while I felt no longer haunted by those who have died
I will let what is long dead observe
And they can lecture if I end up hurt
