Work Text:
I have been all things unholy
I have made you spill your clothes
I have poisoned your hope's garden
Left only the blackest rose
I have been all things unholy
Licked their tattoos on your skin
Wine was never poured for praying
Just every deadly sin
Wrath is fun
Greed is good
And if I could fuck my Pride
I would
So how do you love me?
Suck my lying tongue
And stay so far above me?
Angel, never let me drag you down
If you’re trying to save me
Let go of my soul
Cause it’s all things unholy
One of us will surely drown
I have been all things unholy
Broken hearts and drunk the blood
I have danced a devil’s revelry
Darkness heat and flood
I have been all things unholy
Soaked with sparks and left to burn
I am damned forever to slow suicide
You know I never learn
Blasphemy is good
Sacrilege is fun
Told God to fuck off
So I could fuck his son
So how do you love me?
Suck my lying tongue
And stay so far above me?
Angel, never let me drag you down
If you’re trying to save me
Let go of my soul
Cause it’s all things unholy
One of us will surely drown
I’m not damaged
I am damage
I spread like sickness
Til I live in your veins
Worshipped and forgotten
Corroded and rotten
But being pretty absolves me
I need never change
Yet somehow you love me
Sweet my bitter tongue
Under me you’re above me
Angel, don’t let me weight you down
Don’t make me think you can save me
Give up on this soul
Cause it’s all things unholy
But that doesn’t mean
I can watch you drown
