Teeth in the Glitter

[Verse 1]

You walk in

Slow burn

Lipstick like a crime scene smear

Laugh lines

Sharp turns

You’re the saint that I revere

Black dress

Borrowed faith

You say

“heaven’s overrated anyway”

Cheap wine

Earthquake

I’m your favorite minor holiday

[Pre-Chorus]

You trace my jaw like a warning

Say

“tell me what you’re hiding from the morning”

Every word a match in a warehouse

And I’m soaked in doubts

[Chorus]

You put your teeth in the glitter

Bite down on the pressure

Tell me it hurts

But it makes you feel better

Oh

We’re so sweet

So slick

So bitter

Dancing in the wreck like it’s all just treasure

You put your teeth in the glitter

Chew through the pleasure

Bruised little hearts beating out of measure

Oh

We’re so cheap

So loud

So silver

I’m addicted to the taste of your terror

[Verse 2]

Back seat

Black sky

Writing curses on a fogged-up pane

You laugh

“we won’t die

We’ll just haunt this town by name”

Phone off

Pulse loud

You say “promise me you’ll never stay”

Kiss hard

Too proud

We confess in lowercase

[Pre-Chorus]

You twist my hope into stories

Say

“pain looks good when it’s dressed up in glory”

Every breath a dare I keep losing

And I love the bruising

[Chorus]

You put your teeth in the glitter

Bite down on the pressure

Tell me it hurts

But it makes you feel better

Oh

We’re so sweet

So slick

So bitter

Dancing in the wreck like it’s all just treasure

You put your teeth in the glitter

Chew through the pleasure

Bruised little hearts beating out of measure

Oh

We’re so cheap

So loud

So silver

I’m addicted to the taste of your terror

[Bridge]

Say my name like a slur

Like a prayer (oh)

You drag it out

Drag it out in the air

If this is sick

I don’t wanna get well

If this is hell

Ring the church bell

[Chorus]

You put your teeth in the glitter

Bite down on the pressure

Tell me it hurts

But it makes you feel better

Oh

We’re so sweet

So slick

So bitter

Dancing in the wreck like it’s all just treasure

You put your teeth in the glitter

Chew through the pleasure

Bruised little hearts beating out of measure

Oh

We’re so cheap

So loud

So silver

I’m addicted to the taste of your terror
