Special Pets

When you scream it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg I get all gooey inside
Tonight I take your eyes, mind, and tongue
to spread the word, watch your Kingdom Come
Another night with you, another wound,
You keep me in stitches,
you tear me to pieces
I need new voices in my head, to speak my secret evils with
I need new lovers in my bed, to be my friends and special pets
I need your scent all over me
I need to taste your blasphemy
I need to know with certainty
The nectar was worth the squeeze
It just the way that we're diseased
It's the plague that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious
(x2)
Once upon a time I ripped the wings from my spine
But when I hide inside your eyes I still pretend that I can fly
Tell me a secret
so you can fall in love
then fall to pieces
I need new voices in my head, a new disguise for me to hide
I need new lovers in my bed, to feed my secret appetites
I need your (scents/sins) all over me, I need to taste this tragedy
I need to know with certainty, that the nectar was worth the squeeze
It just the way that we're diseased
It's the plague that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious
(x2)
It's just a game we play in the dark
[other whispered stuff]
We scream it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg I get all gooey inside,
Tonight I take your eyes and tongue
to spread the word and watch you come
you keep me in stitches, you tear me to pieces
It just the way that we're diseased
It's the plague that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious
(x2)
