Tendrils in Blue

{brooding slow 12-bar blues groove,

heavy slide guitar

weeping, low

rumbling bass} I woke up with you crawlin’ under my skin,

Black velvet poison, where do I begin?

You wear my body like a tailored sin,

Spikes on my shoulders,

fire in my grin.

You whisper “we” when I just want “me,” But damn if your

hunger don’t feel like love to me.

Ohhh, symbiote baby, you’re tearin’ my heart in two,

One half is human,

the other belongs to you.

You got me glowin’ green when the night gets cold,

Tongue out, eyes rollin’,

losin’ all control. I’m bonded,

I’m broken, I’m never lettin’ go… Symbiote blues,

Lord, they cut me down to the bone.

You dress me up in armor sharp as regret,

Curves like a weapon,

silhouette I can’t forget.

One minute you’re a queen with horns in the dark,

Next you’re drippin’ off me like liquid heartbreak.

You lick the wounds you made with that wicked smile,

Say “we’re perfect together” while I’m losin’ my mind.

Ohhh,

symbiote baby, you’re tearin’ my heart in two,

One half is screaming,

the other’s addicted to you.

You got me floatin’ high on that chemical fire,

Chest wide open, full of your dark desire.

I’m bonded, I’m broken,

I crave the overdose… Symbiote blues,

got me speakin’ in tongues and prose.

{half-spoken, raw vocal delivery}

Sometimes I try to rip you out… But you just laugh and

pull me deeper down.

You’re the monster

in my mirror,

The angel sittin’ on my tongue.

You’re every filthy prayer I never should’ve sung… {sparse hollow guitar notes}

Yeah,

symbiote darlin’, you own every piece

of me, From the spikes on my back to the ache I

can’t set free. You make me beautiful,

you make me obscene,

Like… this… in the dark where nobody sees.

I’m bonded forever, no antidote,

no release… Just these symbiote blues,

And your heartbeat next to mine in the deep.

We…

We… Never lettin’ go… Symbiote blues… baby,

take me home. {fading slide

guitar, quiet

heartbeat thud}
