lyrics

Some say I’m the ghost
that they can't get rid of
I've been Exorcized and spit up
I'm pretty famed for
being demonized in phases
I can't really blame them
I'm not haunting
I'm just drawn to empty spaces
Left in rusty cages
parts of me they crave
what I haven't had in ages
What I haven't had in ages

Oh the blood, the blood of
Something real it feels like
I've only tasted the hearts
Of cadavers who could not love
I want something real

Here is my heart
It's a little bit bruised
Can you hear it
Beating only for you
Every hit that's been taken
Is a battle wound
It's hard to admit it
But I think I'm in love with you

I’ve been with boys who thought
They planted gardens in my thighs
Without even trying
Planted tombstones in the ground
Left a graveyard in this sacred place
My name was jaded
I think it's easier to try
Not to think about the nights
That felt more like the afterlife
But I am so drawn to the light
That is resurrected when I'm with you

and are those the scars
You wear on your sleeve
And is that your heart
You're giving to me
It feels sort of funny
But I want you to stay
And I'll kiss all the bruises
In the places they’ve stayed
