delikately - boys on fire escaping churches lyrics

he smoked through sermons
twice my age and ten times jaded
said, “you’re the kind of sin that forgives itself,”
then built a temple out of my grief

i remember the hymns
how they taught us to starve
every hunger we couldn’t name in daylight..
[refrain]
we were boys on fire escaping churches
crosses hung crooked, hands behind our backs
he taught me scripture
whispered things boys shouldn’t hear

our love wasn’t tender
it cleaved. methodical. slow
a testament you could still bleed
if this was holy, we rewrote it
if this was love, we postponed it
but even now
i’d burn it all again

mm i let him draw stigmata with his mouth
just to feel what blasphemy tastes like
he called me heaven
i called him “wrong place, right night.”
i remember the hymns
how they taught us to starve
every hunger we couldn’t name in daylight

we were boys on fire escaping churches
rosaries wrapped around wrists
taught me how secrets taste when kept

our love wasn’t tender
it cleaved. methodical. slow
a testament you could still bleed
if this was holy, we rewrote it
if this was love, we postponed it
but even now
i’d burn it all again

he said, “if god made us, then he made us wrong.”
i said, “maybe he made us too right
and they just couldn’t take it.”
the church bells rang like sirens that night
we skipped the part where saints forgive
no miracles
mm. no
who knows anymore
yeah, we were boys on fire
matchstick convictions, smoke for intentions
and i still taste you, deep in my throat
like scripture i never believed but learned by rote
if guilt was a game, he set the board
played god in whispers
then swore i asked for it
“this never happened,” he said
but even now…
ha
i’d burn it all again
