Music: Grace McDunnough
Lyrics: Grace McDunnough & Salome Strangelove
There’ve been so many accusations
Find I’m confessing in my sleep
They say it satisfies the soul
And then they say that talk is cheap
Can’t remember every crime
The sins are pretty much the same
They want me to write it all down
I know they want to read your name
Something soft in need of mending
Something hard that has to break
Something just below the surface
Something drowning in the ache
Something whispering and sinister
Offers nothing in exchange
Oh, I still own my part in this
No matter what they think
It’s your poison in the needle
It’s my blood shining in the ink
The sky has lost so many stars
The moon stopped coming out to play
Now she only shines for predators
And casts her shadows on their prey
Deep inside the midnight dark
Is something hidden and afraid
Always silent, always hungering
Always ready to betray
Something cracked across the glass
Something dancing in the fire
Something moaning with the cold wind
Something bleeding on the wire
Something whispering and sinister
Offers promise and desire
Oh, I still own my part in this
No matter what they think
It’s your poison in the needle
It’s my blood shining in the ink
I can’t remember when it all took root
But I still feel the way we breathed
Am I still the sharpest edge of you
Are you just these jagged cuts on me
It’s our poison in the needle
Blood shining in the ink
Oh, our poison’s in the needle
And our blood is in the ink
