You kiss like comfort and claw like war
I never know what I’m bleeding for
Then say, “You made me. You’re not alone.”
You smash the mirror and ask me why
I wear your rage like designer chains
Because leaving would mean I’d have to feel shame
You wear a barbed wire halo, and I still kneel
You give me poison kisses and call it real
Love shouldn’t feel like a price to pay
Barbed wire halo–cutting me still
You burn my clothes and then say “Let’s talk”
Said, “Don’t be weak, I only hurt what’s mine”
Then cried like hell when I crossed that line
Then kiss the bruises on my face
I keep a bag packed under the bed
You wear a barbed wire halo, and I still kneel
You give me poison kisses and call it real
I know it’s fucked, but I still stay
Love shouldn’t feel like a price to pay
But damn it, baby, I think I always will
It’s comfort built on everything you killed
But I tell myself I can fix your fire
They all left, said I lost my spine
You hold me tight with hands like sin
And I lie and say “I can win”
You wear a barbed wire halo, and I still kneel
You give me poison kisses and call it real
Can’t walk away from the only pain that shows
Barbed wire halo–dig in, take more
Someday I’ll run…
In your cage
And call it home
