Palsy rushes
It wrecks me entirely
I'm enervated
I'm slumped on my pew seat
You pull me up and undress me bless me with your heat
Your eyes are nonchalant i'm thin veined and
Pre-chorus:
You graze your lips on me
You bite me bite my cheek
You push me to a precipice
You made me bleed
You made me need you
Chorus:
'cos
I'm longing for your love
So wash me in your blood so red
Leave me clean
Leave me cleaner
I'm longing for your love
So wash me in your blood so red
Leave me clean
Leave me cleaner
Verse 2:
You're all dressed in black in this impious light
I feel unkempt and meek
I hear the voice of the sycophants
“Sate yourself and stop his bleating”
Gotta macerate the soil
Let the witching hour fall
Pierce the alabaster
Spurt the blood and let them glut uh
Pre-chorus 2:
Well you lay your lips on me
You bite me bite my cheek
You push me to a precipice
You made me bleed
You made me need you
Chorus:
'cos
I'm longing for your love
So wash me in your blood so red
Leave me clean
Leave me cleaner
I'm longing for your love
So wash me in your blood so red
Leave me clean
Leave me cleaner
Bridge:
But as soon as you banish the devil
The angels will disappear as well
Their images sicken
They'll come for you
They'll blame us for their fall
To become the new flesh you must first kill the old flesh
To become the new flesh you must first kill the old flesh
Chorus:
I'm longing for your love
So wash me in your blood so red
Leave me clean
Leave me cleaner
I'm longing for your love
So wash me in your blood so red
Leave me clean
Leave me cleaner
