lyrics

Corpse Carver

In your eyes and in your bed sheets, Uncover secrets you keep
I’ll be knocking down the walls you’re holding up
I’m your Jesus on the cross, You’re my savior when our love is lost
You’re the corpse inside my heart I’m digging up

Baby girl, I could be your man, But only if you want me to
I know it feels so wrong, but baby it’s alright
I got the fire in my soul and I’m carving up the bones tonight

You’re the keeper of the flame, I’m the beast only your love could tame
You’re the sludge inside my soul, black toxic waste
In the face of fear we ride, In the darkness, be my guiding light
Girl I need your kiss, I’m addicted to the taste

There’s blood on these tracks again
Look what we’ve done to ourselves
Black hearts and broken backs
