I want to feel you hesitate
I want to feel you pull away
I want to feel you realise
That I am not love come to play

I want to feel your pink clean skin
I want to feel your purity
I want to feel you touch my pain
I want to drown in your misery

Hey, bitch, this is what you are
Purified, sanctified, sacrificed
Hey, bitch, this is what you are
Purified, sanctified, sacrificed
This is what you are

I want to feel your innocence
I want to hear you beg for 'Him'
I want to be your animal
I want to be your only sin

I want to tear your dreams away
And show you hopes last sanctuary
I want to dip your wings in blood
And watch an angel bleed for me
