The Taste of Red

Butch Walker

Well I tripped and I fell
into a hole I know so well
and I don' tthink i'll be
leaving for awhile
and this lump beneath my skin
is the home I let you in
all it took was just your
red lipped biting smile
and damn damn damn I love you
like the stars that shine above you
light the ground that your laying on
while looking up at me
and oh good god I need this
just a chance to see your weakness
so I can come inside of your kiss
and leave you on your knees
slurring thoughts til they bled
cuz I love the taste of red
and you're stuck inside me
like a splinter does
drawing words on your back
spelling you're my heart attack
cuz your naked body glistens like the sun
and damn damn damn I love you
like the stars that shine above you
light the ground that your laying on
while looking up at me
and oh good god I need this
just a chance to show your weakness
so I can come inside of your kiss and just
leave you on your knees
