Rose Covered Chocolate

Lyrics

Intro
Rose covered chocolate
On the table
Under the skin
Something is able

Verse 1
I found it by the sink
Wrapped in silk and wire
Sweet on the outside
Rot under the choir
You smiled like a mannequin
Head tipped wrong
Your teeth kept counting
To a song gone long

Pre-Chorus
Don't touch it
Don't taste it
It knows your name
Don't hold it
Don't break it
It likes the pain

Chorus
Sweet little rot
Sweet little rot
It blooms on me
It won't let go
Sweet little rot
Sweet little rot
Say my name
And sink me slow

Breakdown
Click
Clack
Open the seam
A mouth in the foil
A hand in my dream
Click
Clack
Hear it breathe
Rose on the tongue
Then the hunger leaves

Verse 2
The room leaned inward
Like it had ears
The clock lost shape
It dripped through years
I saw your shadow
Move before you did
Puppet grin
With a bolt-bit kid
You kept on smiling
Past the frame
Like something else
Was driving the name

Pre-Chorus
Don't touch it
Don't taste it
It knows your name
Don't hold it
Don't break it
It likes the pain

Chorus
Sweet little rot
Sweet little rot
It blooms on me
It won't let go
Sweet little rot
Sweet little rot
Say my name
And sink me slow

Break
Snap
Black in the mouth
Cold little syrup
Pulls me down south
Break
Snap
Hands in the wall
Something inside me
Answering all

Verse 3
Now I wear the paper
Now I wear the stain
Under my ribs
There's a nursery of pain
You came back smiling
But your eyes were chrome
You left me a kiss
That grew in my home
I hear you in the vents
I hear you in the floor
I hear you knocking
From behind the door

Bridge
I am the carton
I am the seam
I am the sweet thing
Feeding the machine
You made me hollow
You made me whole
Now I am the bite
That eats the soul

Chorus
Sweet little rot
Sweet little rot
It blooms on me
It won't let go
Sweet little rot
Sweet little rot
Say my name
And sink me slow

Breakdown
Open
Open
Let it show
Rose in the casing
Cold and low
Open
Open
Hear it grin
I was the offering
You let in

Outro
Rose covered chocolate
On the table
Under the skin
Something is able
Rose covered chocolate
Don't wake it up
It learned my face
It drank me up
