Unsanctified

Biting my gums in a crowded place Shaking arms, I can’t walk with grace Locked eyes and hands under cinema lights Bringing back broken rings and heavy contrite But there’s no poisons or daggers or potions There’s no killers or tea leaves or notions We have forbidden chemistry Taboo’d destiny Anxious, oppressed and misjudged We have forbidden chemistry Heavenly ecstasy Unsanctified, but warm to the touch I hang my shame with your empty bottles Romanticise philosophy and morals Rendezvous and bitten nails Reading skin like reading brail But there’s no poisons or daggers or potions There’s no killers or tea leaves or notions We have forbidden chemistry Taboo’d destiny Anxious, oppressed and misjudged We have forbidden chemistry Heavenly ecstasy Unsanctified, but warm to the touch Hands over my face, under my sheets Breathing through pillows, humming berceuse Knees to my chest, broken guilty heartbeats We have forbidden chemistry Taboo’d destiny Anxious, oppressed and misjudged We have forbidden chemistry Heavenly ecstasy Unsanctified, but warm to the touch
