candles bleed in the midnight air voices tremble but no one’s there shadows drip like wax on stone choir girls moan in a dream i own velvet smoke where the hymns collapse trembling hands in a holy relapse lips like scripture, soft and torn craving fire where faith was born every secret pressed in skin every prayer pulls me in drowning deep in stained glass light wings of angels torn at night holy water tastes of sin bless the shame we’re drowning in velvet tongue unwrapping shame, burning holy in the flame kissing sin and calling names, drowning slowly in her frame rosary beads against her skin, every chant a sweeter sin stained glass eyes, i let her in, church collapse beneath her grin choir moans, the voices bend, methadone dreams that never end broken vows i can’t defend, body bows but won’t repent salvation spills in lusty streams, unholy love rewrites my dreams god don’t hear these muffled screams, redemption drips in secret seam in the silence, echoes stay broken hymns won’t fade away every vow i tried to keep melts like wax when angels weep fevered whispers, holy lies lust replacing lullabies every scar a sacred mark burning bright inside the dark drowning deep in stained glass light wings of angels torn at night holy water tastes of sin bless the shame we’re drowning in sacred scripture on her thighs, whisper psalms between her sighs every moan a prayer denied, every sin a place to hide trembling halos start to break, mercy floods in every quake i’m the sinner, she’s the shrine, drinking lust like bitter wine altar burning, smoke ascends, body bends but never ends blasphemy i can’t defend, guilty pleasures i befriend heaven’s gate won’t let me through, angels watch the things we do god is silent, she’s the proof, holy sin becomes my truth methadone drips in a velvet stream i’m chained inside this fever dream every fall feels close to him drowning deep in stained glass light wings of angels torn at night holy water tastes of sin bless the shame we’re drowning in choir girls moan in methadone dreams halo slips but it still gleams
