Black Velvet Teeth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found your name in ash On the inside of the door Three knocks on the frame Then the floor began to moor A pale hand on the glass A grin behind the lace You said come closer, slow And I knew that broken face [Pre-Chorus] The candles bend The air turns thin My lungs fill up With silver pins You lean in close So I can see Those blackened pearls You saved for me [Chorus] Black velvet teeth Bite me sweet Black velvet teeth Underneath Black velvet teeth Call my name Black velvet teeth Feed the flame [Verse 2] Your footsteps in the hall Are barefoot, cold, and neat The violins keep shaking Like bones beneath your feet I taste the cellar dust I hear the cellar chain You laugh behind my skin And spell me in my veins [Pre-Chorus] The walls lean in The mirrors crack Your shadow swims Then drags me back A soft pale breath A cruel little prayer You stitch your curse Right through the air [Chorus] Black velvet teeth Bite me sweet Black velvet teeth Underneath Black velvet teeth Call my name Black velvet teeth Feed the flame [Bridge] Go on Open wider Let the dark in Let it bite Hear that String by string I’m already Inside tonight [Final Chorus] Black velvet teeth Bite me sweet Black velvet teeth Underneath Black velvet teeth Call my name Black velvet teeth Feed the flame Black velvet teeth Hold me near Black velvet teeth I disappear
