Put Your Teeth In Me

Neon Graves — “Teeth” Verse 1 You came in black like a bad idea Cheap perfume, dead eyes, heat and fear Mouth like a prayer with a curse beneath Soft little lies and a set of teeth You touch like sin with a saint’s cold hand Make me collapse while I try to stand You don’t want love, you want skin and ache You want the part of me you can break Pre-Chorus You pull me close Just to cut me deep You kiss me slow Like you want me weak You taste like smoke You move like blame And every time you wreck me I want it all again Chorus Put your teeth in me Leave your mark where the light won’t reach Drag me under, baby, make it sweet I want your ruin all over me Hands on my throat Fire in my veins We look like heaven But we sound like pain If I’m your poison Then don’t let me leave Put your teeth in me Put your teeth in me Post-Chorus Oh-oh, tear me up clean Oh-oh, make me obscene You don’t touch my body, you sharpen my grief Oh-oh, put your teeth in me Verse 2 You wear red shame like a second skin Room full of ghosts when you’re walking in You got that look like you’ve killed before Not with a knife — with a need for more We hit the dark like a head-on crash Blackout pulse and a mouth like glass You say my name like you hate that it stays Then pull me back in and set me ablaze Pre-Chorus You love the choke You love the sting You love the sound Of what you bring You crack me open Then climb inside And leave me twitching With nowhere to hide Chorus Put your teeth in me Leave your mark where the light won’t reach Drag me under, baby, make it sweet I want your ruin all over me Hands on my throat Fire in my veins We look like heaven But we sound like pain If I’m your poison Then don’t let me leave Put your teeth in me Put your teeth in me Bridge I want the version of us that bleeds The one that begs, the one that needs The one that comes with broken wings And stains the bed with blasphemies You make me feel like a loaded gun Like God went dark and the wires got cut Like love’s not soft, it’s a violent drug And I still open up Breakdown / Drop Teeth in me No mercy Teeth in me Don’t save me Teeth in me Come ruin me Teeth in me Neon Graves Final Chorus Put your teeth in me Leave your mark where the light won’t reach Drag me under, baby, make it sweet I want your ruin all over me Hands on my throat Fire in my veins We look like heaven But we sound like pain If I’m your poison Then don’t let me leave Put your teeth in me Put your teeth in me Outro You don’t make love You make believers You don’t leave scars You leave relievers You don’t want hearts You want them weak So bite down, baby And bury it deep
