CHAINS

You're leaning back against the sink with that look in your eyes
Like you're counting up the truth and you're weighing the lies
I can hear the click of your jewelry, the snap of the light
The only thing I'm sure of is we're losing the night

You've got that silver necklace pulled tight to the skin
Waiting for the moment that I finally cave in
It's quiet in the hallway, but it's loud in my chest
And I'm just a ghost inside of your guest-room arrest

So wrap your chains around the parts of me that still feel alive
I'm a wreckage in the water, but I'm learning to dive
You're the venom in the vintage, the cross on the wall
I'm the only one who's happy to be taking the fall

Your dress is halfway off and your shadow is tall
I'm tracing every outline on the back of the wall
Stop trying to be good, stop trying to be pure
I'm the only sickness that can offer the cure
I can taste the sweat and the salt on your mouth
While the compass in my head is only pointing us south
You're an angel in the shadows, a demon in the Sun
And I'm the loaded chamber of your favorite gun

So wrap your chains around the parts of me that still feel alive
I'm a wreckage in the water, but I'm learning to dive
You're the venom in the vintage, the cross on the wall
I'm the only one who's happy to be taking the fall

Give me that dangerous heat, that jagged perfection
I'm searching for the God in our broken connection
It's a massacre, baby, it's a beautiful ruin
And I'm addicted to the damage that we're doing

Beautiful ruin
Don't fix it
My favorite obsession
Just break it
Amen
