lyrics

I don't remember the heat
Or the smell of fuel, or being afraid
Just the thrill of living through it
Like letting a tiger lick my bared white throat

After that I was hooked
I learned how to extinguish the flame
Or keep it lit inside me, made my body welcome
The play of the torch across my skin

CHORUS:
I opened and let it in
I opened and let it in
I opened and let it in
Opened and let it in

Nothing I’d ever tried before
Could satisfy my insatiable desire for more
My heart nearly stopped
The ambulance sang my name more times than once

I needed danger’s rush
Adrenaline to light me up
That fight or flight all dancing in my blood
And on my tongue like medicine

(Chorus)

Burn away clean
Flicker and breathe
The light and the heat
Within me consuming

So sweet is this thing
Licking my fingers
And whispering
Open to me

Ever since I first lowered the blazing
Torch between my teeth
It takes sriracha poured on everything I eat
To make it hot enough for me

It's all I need, my love
My food and drink, religion and my drug
The razor and glass, my trouble
The bottle, the needle and spoon never sizzled

so sweet as this thing

(Chorus)

So sweet is this thing
Licking my fingers
And whispering
Open to me

Charming Disaster Brooklyn, New York

Charming Disaster is a goth-folk duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, and the occult. ... more
