Ivory wrists... crimson kisses... Ivory wrists wrapped in crimson lipstick kisses candlewax drips on the fingerprints of my missteps Hypnic jerk twitch as the succubus sits on my ribcage tongue-tied chewing up a pill and a rib vein Mirror in the hallway shows me rotting in a sharp suit halo made of barstools spinning like a carrousel of hard truth You in the doorway perfume, perfume and a shark tooth saint on a bar tab smiling like you wanna carve through Bordello of echoes she calls my sickness love I keep on bleeding confessions you keep on drinking my blood (my blood) Body to body I drown in what we were Addicted to your heaven sleeping in your dirt Bordello of echoes I’m paying you in scars You’re praying with your thighs like you baptized all my parts (all my parts) If this is how I vanish don’t wake me when I’m cursed Addicted to your heaven sleeping in your dirt (in your dirt) Plasma in the bedsheets veins scribble little hex signs shadow on the headboard mouth stitched in a red line You say take it, taste it lace it with your dead eyes oxycodone rosary swinging while my chest dries Psychosexual séance you’re chanting in my ear, stay hypodermic halos hanging like a chandelier of mayday Every kiss is laced with a latent little AA but I chase it, chase it Until the vowels all decay I can’t tell the altar from the gutter on the floor (on the floor) Are you my salvation or the plague I’m asking for? Every time I leave you I’m a corpse outside the door drag me back inside you til I’m less and less and more Bordello of echoes she calls my sickness love I keep on bleeding confessions you keep on drinking my blood (my blood) Body to body I drown in what we were Addicted to your heaven sleeping in your dirt Bordello of echoes I’m paying you in scars You’re praying with your thighs like you baptized all my parts (all my parts) If this is how I vanish don’t wake me when I’m cursed Addicted to your heaven sleeping in your dirt (in your dirt) Bordello... of echoes...
