Velvet Teeth lyrics

Breathe it in, the saint you built is cracked Your mercy tastes like smoke and wax I wore your calm until it screamed I sold my hurt to your machine I watched you shine while I decayed You called it healing, I called it faith Your whispers drip with gasoline I light them just to feel unclean You said I'm fragile, I said I'm flame You blessed my scars, then used my name Velvet teeth, grinding slow Every bite I used to know Plastic prayers across my skin Bleed me holy, burn me in You like the silence, don't you? You like when I choke on devotion You said the pain was pretty Now watch me wear it proud Your grace is a costume I outgrew Your heaven can't fit what I've been through Every sorry cuts too deep And every truth you sold, I keep Velvet teeth, velvet sin Tear the voice beneath my skin Velvet teeth, velvet sin I'm not yours to save again I'm the wound you prayed to heal And I still taste like rust
