She Is

Static in a wedding dress

Lipstick on a cigarette

Razor blade with cherry gloss

Every touch a coin toss

Sweet enough to numb the sting

Novocaine beneath the skin

Rose petals around the knife

Heaven dressed as afterlife

Angel wings with broken bones

Marble heart and shattered gold

Halo hanging from a wire

Cold hands wrapped around a fire

Velvet wrapped around barbed wire

Church bells drowning in a choir

Every smile a warning sign

Every scar a work of art

Built from ashes

Built from doubt

A fortress nobody figured out

She's a dagger covered in roses

Blood red beauty nobody notices

Taste like honey

Burn like smoke

Leaves a mark before she goes

Half salvation

Half disease

Brings a kingdom to its knees

She's a razor blade laced with novocaine

Cuts so deep

Nothing remains

Black lace over battle scars

Lightning sleeping in a jar

Paradise with poison teeth

Perfect ruin underneath

Hand grenade with painted nails

Fairytale that always fails

One foot in the light above

One foot in the flood

Glass cathedral

Concrete soul

Every lock protecting something beautiful

Cherry red apocalypse

Diamond dust on fingertips

Every promise dressed in black

Every exit pulling back

Saints pray

Sinners stare

Nobody survives the air

Storm clouds underneath perfume

Sunlight trapped inside a tomb

Every wall another ghost

Every thorn protecting hope

Every blade protecting trust

Every wound collecting rust

Halo

Venom

Mercy

Weapon

Heaven

Hellfire

Rose

Barbed wire

Halo

Mercy

Weapon

Heaven

Hellfire

Rose

Barbed wire

Barbed wire

She's a dagger covered in roses

Blood red beauty nobody notices

Sweet like heaven

Dark like fate

Too late to hesitate

Half disaster

Half divine

Crosses hanging from the vines

She's a razor blade laced with novocaine

The prettiest kind of pain

The prettiest kind of pain

Rose petals on a switchblade

Rose petals on a switchblade

The prettiest kind of pain
