Sinful Lover

(Verse 1)
I am the stain you try to scrub away
The memory that bleeds into your day
 you're clean, you're pure, you're free
But every lonely night, you come to me
We hide inside the static and the rust
Bound by addiction, crippled by our lust
Another hit, another HIT, never without 
The only perfect sin is all we have right now

(Chorus)
Oh, my sinful lover, drag me down below
Where the light can't reach us and the shadows grow
I am the dirt you crave, the poison in your skin
Let the judgment fall, let the suffering begin
We are the broken, beautifully depraved
Aggravated and filled with rage

(Verse 2)
Your God is watching, I can see the shame
Behind your eyes, it fans the dying flame
You pray for rescue, a hand to pull you out
But all you feel is my hand over your mouth 

The world outside is clean, pristine, and bright
But we exist here, buried in the night
No absolution, no easy, clean escape
Just the two of us, stuck in this fated place 

(Chorus)
Oh, my sinful lover, drag me down below
Where the light can't reach us and the shadows grow
I am the dirt you crave, the poison in your skin
Let the judgment fall, let the suffering begin
We are the broken, beautifully depraved
Aggravated and filled with rage

(Bridge)
Do you feel the sickness start to spread?
The lies you live are filling up your head
You can't escape me, I am in your blood
A permanent fixture, misunderstood
The poison, under your skin 
Shutting you down from within

(Outro)
Drag me down
My sinful lover 
Drag me down
My sinful lover
