[Verse 1] I smell your fear All the way down the hall Your heartbeat stutters Like a drum before the fall You touch her wrist And the room grows small You bare your teeth? I bare my fangs [Pre-Chorus] You see a girl I see a vow You think she's prey I hunt you now (hunt you now) [Chorus] I am the fang behind her smile The shadow at her door Spill just a drop of her blood I’ll paint the ceiling with yours She is the one sin I won’t confess My crimson covenant Carved in your chest Hurt her once You won’t hurt her again [Verse 2] I watched for years From the rafters From the rain Her coffee Her keys Every crack in every pane You laughed too loud Leaned in too close Now your throat Meets my fangs [Pre-Chorus] You raise your hand I freeze your breath Your fingers shake Already taste of death [Chorus] I am the fang behind her smile The shadow at her door Spill just a drop of her blood I’ll paint the ceiling with yours She is the one sin I won’t confess My crimson covenant Carved in your chest Hurt her once You won’t hurt her again [Bridge] [low vocal register] Count them Every bruise (bruise) Every whispered plea (plea) Every midnight message (message) She never let you see I heard them all (heard them all) Like hymns in the dark (dark) Now your name Is ash on my tongue (ashes) [Breakdown] On your knees Feel the weight of my years (years) Every scream she swallowed Rings in your ears (your ears) I don’t forgive I don’t forget I drink the threat And you’re what’s next (what's next!) [Chorus] I am the fang behind her smile The shadow at her door Spill just a drop of her blood I’ll paint the ceiling with yours She is the one sin I won’t confess My crimson covenant Carved in your chest Hurt her once You won’t hurt her again!
