[Verse 1] You called her names You cracked her smile Left her shaking On that bathroom tile I watched from the rafters Dripping patience Dripping hate Counted every heartbeat Till the perfect date [Pre-Chorus] You taste like cheap cologne Fear and gasoline I’ve been starving in the shadows Sharpened just for you [Chorus] Blood for my beloved Every cut you carved I claim You will learn her value Screaming out her name Blood for my beloved Every tear becomes your price I was born for nights like this You were born for sacrifice [Verse 2] You laughed at her softness Crushed her little paper dreams Pinned her to your rumors Till she tore along the seams I kissed her bruised eyelids Swore in copper on my tongue Now I’m at your doorstep Choir of veins already sung [Pre-Chorus] Your heartbeat hits my teeth Like a drum that begs to break I’m the promise in the doorway You forgot you made [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Say her name While your bones still remember Say her name As the room turns ember I’ll write it in your skin Deep Again Again Her mercy was a weakness Mine’s a closing hand [Chorus]
