BUTTERFLY KISSES
my kiss says razors and pain, my kiss says
do it with pride, and do it well. latchkey
hands drift over you, from one door to the next
you know I’m not a virgin
do it with pride, and do it well. latchkey
tone, look blank when I lip to you
you know I’m not a virgin
you covet the undertaking
tone, look blank when I lip to you
get on all fours
you covet the undertaking
this is our little secret at sixteen
get on all fours
hands drift over you, from one door to the next
this is our little secret at sixteen
my kiss says razors and pain, my kiss says
