lyrics

when she kissed me
she broke my bones.
right hand of God
kneel before the throne.
I'm too big for this burial ground
my hand around her waist is a thorny crown.
my skin rots and falls off when she touches me
baby, spread your legs
like Moses split the sea.

(chorus)
choir hymns of "oh my God"s
leaked from my teeth.
Lazarus thoughts and holy water
bubbled up from underneath.
say a prayer of communion
under halo white sheets.
you can die and resurrect
but we'll never be at peace.

our hands and feet
are full of holes.
stigmata screams
babe, we're two damned souls.
antichrist eyes
our acts are heresy.
on the alter bound
a little death here with me.
Father, Son, you, me, and the Holy Ghost
say amen and taste my skin like the blessed host.

(chorus)
choir hymns of "oh my God"s
leaked from my teeth.
Lazarus thoughts and holy water
bubbled up from underneath.
say a prayer of communion
under halo white sheets.
you can die and resurrect
but we'll never be at peace.

holy shit I'm totally going to hell for writing this song,
it's blasphemous, I hope the after life isn't all that long.
confessions are supposed to be special, ya know?
drunk, confused and young
shit I'm so sad and on New Year's all I can think about
is your tongue.

(chorus)
choir hymns of "oh my God"s
leaked from my teeth.
Lazarus thoughts and holy water
bubbled up from underneath.
say a prayer of communion
under halo white sheets,
you can die and resurrect
but we'll never be at peace.
