Fifty Shadows At The Door

Lyrics

Verse 1
Black tie on the floor
Lip print on my throat
One by one
They cross the porch
Hands on my coat
Laughs spill like red wine
Names blur
Eyes burn slow
Someone kills the hallway light
Now I’m all shadow

Pre-Chorus
I feel them circling my hunger
Every glance another dare
I’m praying and I’m begging
For too many hands to care (yeah)

Chorus
I want fifty men at the altar of my skin
Let them lay me down and let the dark begin
Let their mouths confess every wicked little sin
Fifty hearts in time
Beating
Breaking in
I want every breath
Every body
Every grin
Fifty men inside the kingdom of my grin
Lift me like a choir as the room starts to spin
Fifty shadows fall
And I let them in (oh)

Verse 2
Couch turned to a throne
Collars loose
Eyes glazed
Candle wax on my wrist
Someone bites
I’m dazed
Fingers trace my spine
Like they’re reading sacred lines
I’m a doorway
I’m a dare
End of all their quiet lives

Pre-Chorus
I feel them worship what I’m offering
Soft devotions everywhere
I’m shaking while I’m smiling
Too much pleasure in the air (yeah)

Chorus
I want fifty men at the altar of my skin
Let them lay me down and let the dark begin
Let their mouths confess every wicked little sin
Fifty hearts in time
Beating
Breaking in
I want every breath
Every body
Every grin
Fifty men inside the kingdom of my grin
Lift me like a choir as the room starts to spin
Fifty shadows fall
And I let them in (oh)

Bridge
Names like litany
Lips like wine
Bodies blur at the edge of my mind
If this is heaven
Let it never end
Let every stranger feel like a long-lost friend
cello and choir swell

Chorus
I want fifty men at the altar of my skin
Let them lay me down and let the dark begin
Let their mouths confess every wicked little sin
Fifty hearts in time
Beating
Breaking in
I want every breath
Every body
Every grin
Fifty men inside the kingdom of my grin
Lift me like a choir as the room starts to spin
Fifty shadows sing
And I let them in (yeah)
