Black Rose Bite

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met you by the crypt door Black lace, pale hands, midnight eyes You said my name like a prayer Like you’d been starving all your life I saw your teeth in the candlelight But I did not turn away You drank from the cut of my lip And I let you stay [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon hangs low for you And my blood runs sweet and slow If I’m cursed, then curse me too I’m already yours, you know [Chorus] Bite me slow Don’t let go Black rose love Down below Bite me slow Say my name If I die I’ll die the same [Verse 2] You brought me rain-soaked violets And a ring carved from bone I hid your shade in my window From the dawn on the stone We danced where the saints looked down In a chapel split by rain You kissed the bruise on my neck Like you could heal the pain [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon hangs low for you And my blood runs sweet and slow If I’m cursed, then curse me too I’m already yours, you know [Chorus] Bite me slow Don’t let go Black rose love Down below Bite me slow Say my name If I die I’ll die the same [Bridge] When the sun comes searching Hide me in your coat Let the daylight burn the curtains Let the whole world choke If they come with silver I will take your hand You can keep my heart in darkness Where it finally stands [Final Chorus] Bite me slow Don’t let go Black rose love Down below Bite me slow Say my name If I die I’ll die the same Bite me slow Hold me near In your dark I disappear
