🔞Guillotine Lick (Cover)

She wears her vertebrae outside her skin A chandelier of scars the light falls in Paid your tab in fever-sweat and shame She spells disaster, you misread it as your name Fishnet tourniquet, a masterpiece of ache You mistake the butcher's smile for a keepsake Ribbon of her tongue ties your spine into a bow She whispers "darling, the only way out is down, you know" Kneel for the needle, bridegroom of the bruise She feeds you sacraments you never get to choose Suture up your longing with a monogrammed scar She is the exit wound pretending she's a star Crawl back pretty, crawl back pristine The gutter loves a man who licks the guillotine Bouquet of fentanyl and baby's breath Your vows recited through a broken meth-teeth S She crucifies fidelity upon your collarbone While someone else's sweat is drying on her throne You pay her rent, you pay her sins, you pay her other men She calls you "mercy," but you answer to "amen" Spoon-fed contempt through a silver tube She elegantly guts you while she's pressing your suit Kneel for the needle, bridegroom of the bruise She feeds you sacraments you never get to choose Suture up your longing with a monogrammed scar She is the exit wound pretending she's a star Crawl back pretty, crawl back pristine The gutter loves a man who licks the guillotine We are twitching ballerinas in a mausoleum waltz Dancing codependent through our mutual default She cuts my heroin with her indifference, it still burns divine Her infidelity's a gift—it proves she isn't mine Select me, select me, the volunteered cadaver Handcuffed to her shadow, sucking venom from the flatter Select me, select me, I taste exactly like surrender Her cruelty's the only warmth I still remember Kneel for the needle... monogrammed scar... She photographs the gutter, calls it art... You're just the frame... Lick the guillotine, love... Lick it clean...
