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
