lyrics

You dig your teeth deep in my chest
And slowly peel my insides out
Your pivot and your harsh caress
My dear, my love I must confess (I must confess)
I've felt it all a thousand times (a thousand times)
My guts spill out before dead eyes (before dead eyes)
Church Key knife sex every night (every time)
Your simplex cadence never seals me (never seals me)
Discarded lids all cast aside (all cast aside)
They make the plating on your hide (save your hide)
To steel away, please keep me safe (please keep me safe)
But there's less left of me each day

Opener, ruiner
Exposed my raw edges, cut all who get too close to me
Opener, ruiner
Sealed edges of my sanity fed through the teeth machine

We cast our names in cheap tin
And foolishly plated them in sterling silver
Our greatest sin was being so bold to think we'd even make it this far
I'll be here, always waiting
No matter how much it hurts, it's the purest thing in my world
This distance between us
It will soon defeat us

Butterflies lodged in my heart
John Wayne demeanor, so cavalier
You will not erase
The etches left in in ink
I will not forgive the way you ruined her
open up and let me gut you where the shame is kept
I know I’m not the only one
I’ll split your hand I’ll bite your tongue
But I won’t ever let you see
The mess that you made of me
I hope that you forget

Your jagged caress
These holes in my dress
My fingernails cracked
Bloodshot in my eyes
The rawness in my throat
I think you know the rest
You will never get to see
Red has never looked so good on me
