Silk on Your Throat

[Verse 1] Red mouth, quiet smile Ink hair pinned in a maze of gold Pouring you heat in a porcelain cup Eyes say what the rules don’t allow Silk sleeve grazes your wrist You forget how to use your tongue One word from me and you lose your name You came here certain You leave here owned [Chorus] Kneel in my garden of smoke Let my perfume wrap your throat You know this touch is forbidden But you can’t stop, you won’t stop Pray for a taste of my sin I write your fate on your skin I am the wish you can’t mention Silk on your throat, your confession [Verse 2] Fans hide, then reveal Flash of thigh like a secret door You drink the sway of my painted walk More drunk on me than on the pour Soft laugh, razor inside I take your pride like a hairpin prize You beg for less, but your shaking hands Say “more, please more” In a language of sighs [Chorus] Kneel in my garden of smoke Let my perfume wrap your throat You know this touch is forbidden But you can’t stop, you won’t stop Pray for a taste of my sin I write your fate on your skin I am the wish you can’t mention Silk on your throat, your confession [Bridge] You came for comfort You stay for the ruin (oh) Every careful vow you made I fold, then slip it in my robe Say you’re a good man I smile, tilt my face Good men still tremble When I draw them into disgrace [Chorus] Kneel in my garden of smoke Let my perfume wrap your throat You know this touch is forbidden But you can’t stop, you won’t stop Pray for a taste of my sin I write your fate on your skin I am the wish you can’t mention Silk on your throat, your confession
