Tongue Tied

You pull the thread that holds my head on straight

Whisper sins where prayers should be

Got me shaking in my ribcage

But you smile like you set me free

Hair like holy fire, lips like war

You don't knock, you kick down the door

Said, "you were always meant for ruin, baby"

And I laughed, then asked for more

You're the altar and the sin

I keep coming back again

Even when your halo cracks

I wear the pieces on my skin

So tie me up in the silence you scream

Taste your name on the edge of a dream

I'm yours, yeah, completely fucking obscene

Tongue tied in heaven, with hell in between

Make me drown in between the ocean's seams

Rip my heart out, lick it from ragged to clean

I'm yours, yeah, completely fucking obscene

Tongue tied in heaven, with hell in between

Dripping lust in thrift-store lace

You say love like it's a threat

You bite back when I misbehave

But sleep tangled in my chest

Told me I was too much

I said, "then choke on it"

Every scar you stitch in gold

Still bleeds when we forget

We keep crashing just for thrill

Make love like we're hard to kill

Write our names in bathroom stalls

Just to prove we're standing still

So tie me up in the silence you scream

Taste your name on the edge of a dream

I'm yours, yeah, completely fucking obscene

Tongue tied in heaven, with hell in between

Make me drown in between the ocean's seams

Rip my heart out, lick it from ragged to clean

I'm yours, yeah, completely fucking obscene

Tongue tied in heaven, with hell in between

Let me drown, let me ache

In the echo of your name

If we burn, then we burn

But I'll love you just the same

You're the knife and the lullaby

Cut me soft, keep me high

If I die in your arms

At least I know I tried

I dream in static when you leave the room

Like silence got teeth and it's hungry too

I breathe you in like smoke and sin

Say I'm fine while I cave from within

You're the glitch in my perfect code

You kiss like threat, you fuck like home

And I let you

Every damn time

You paint hurt in colours I've never seen

Call it art when you tear through me

But I'll crawl back just to feel your weight

'Cause even your ghost feels better than fate

So tie me up in the silence you scream

Taste your name on the edge of a dream

I'm yours, yeah, completely fucking obscene

Tongue tied in heaven, with hell in between

Death do us part, and after, we come clean

That we'll go to hell together, bloodied and pristine

I'm yours, yeah, completely fucking obscene

Tongue tied in heaven, with hell in between
