Kiss Me Like a Knife

Your perfume fights the smoke on my shirt tonight
Skin on skin so close I can taste your sin
You bite my name in half and call it a prayer alright
These motel walls know more than my next of kin

You say you want the truth then close your eyes
Like you can drown the fire while it climbs

Kiss me like a knife, cut slow, cut deep
Say you will stay then steal my sleep
Take what you want, leave teeth in my heart
Kiss me like a knife then tear me apart

Nails on my back draw maps of where we went wrong
Tongue full of gasoline begging for a spark
You ride my pulse till right feels dead gone
Our halo on the floor, our mercy in the dark

Your yes feels like a no with lipstick on
We keep the lights turned off till they come on

Kiss me like a knife, cut slow, cut deep
Say you will stay then steal my sleep
Take what you want, leave teeth in my heart
Kiss me like a knife then tear me apart
