Bite Down On My Name

Lyrics

Verse 1
You said you liked danger
So I wore my bruises proud
Met you in that backroom
Where the music drowned the crowd
Your fingers at my collar
Like a question
Like a threat
You smiled
Pulled me closer
Said
“How far can we forget?”

Chorus
Bite down on my name
Till it stains your tongue (oh)
Let it drip
Let it drag
Where the dark’s still young
Hands on my throat
Heart in your fist
Say you’re my sin
I’ll be your abyss
Bite down on my name
Till it coats your lungs
Midnight on your tongue

Verse 2
Your breath tasted bitter
Cheap smoke
Holy spite
You traced my ribs slowly
Counting every quiet fight
Knees on cold concrete
You laughed when I shook
Said
“You’re not scared of hell
You’re just scared to look”

Chorus
Bite down on my name
Till it stains your tongue (yeah)
Let it drip
Let it drag
Where the dark’s still young
Hands on my throat
Heart in your fist
Say you’re my sin
I’ll be your abyss
Bite down on my name
Till it coats your lungs
Midnight on your tongue

Bridge
If this is wrong
Then bruise me right
Carve me up in candlelight (oh)
Leave your teeth marks on my pride
So I can’t go back outside
Kiss me like you hate my faith
Pin me to my favorite shame
If I vanish when we’re done
Leave my ghost inside your tongue

Chorus
Bite down on my name
Till it stains your tongue
Let it drip
Let it drag
Where the dark’s still young
Hands on my throat
Heart in your fist
Say you’re my sin
I’ll be your abyss
Bite down on my name
Till it coats your lungs
Midnight on your tongue
