Your perfume stains the hallway Like gasoline and rain Everybody says you’re poison I drink you just the same The TV spits in fragments Blue ghosts across your skin You dance around the wreckage Like you were born within it Oh, you pull me under slow With your cracked-out halo glow And I love the way you ruin every room We sleep beside the sirens Cheap fan humming overhead You trace circles on my knuckles Like counting all the dead Your laughter sounds contagious A sickness in my chest Every kiss leaves fingerprints Burned beneath my ribs And the ceiling folds like paper Every time you scream my name I swear the earth goes crooked Trying to hold your weight Oh, you pull me under slow With your black-eyed summer soul And I love the way you make the bad feel true If I disappear tomorrow Melt into the stains outside You’d still find me in the concrete You’d still drag me back alive We were never meant for heaven Too much dirt beneath our teeth But your heartbeat in the darkness Still sounds holy next to me
