Bite the light Songtext
von Marina Tarraf

Do you hear that
That little crack in the dark
That′s not the room
That's my heart opening its teeth

Come closer
Slowly
I like the fear before the touch

I came in dressed like a bad idea
Black on black with a halo of heat
You looked once and forgot your name
Now the floor can barely keep the beat

My high heels talk in a razor tone
My hair moves strange like a midnight tide
There′s a violin crying under my skin
And a dirty sax calling from the other side

I don't walk pretty
I bend the air
I don't ask nicely
I make you stare


Your mouth says run
But your blood says stay
You were good till I got in your way

Hold your breath
One two three
That weird little pulse
That′s me

Shake your bones
Don′t be polite
If you want the dark
Then bite the light

Bite the light
Bite it slow
Kiss the danger
Steal the glow

Shake your body
Lose control
I want fire
In your soul


Bite the light
Taste the night
Love gets strange
When it feels this right

Hands up high
Crowd ignite
I'm the fever
You feel tonight

Bite bite bite the light
Higher higher higher

Taste it
Break it
Make it violent

Bite bite bite the light
Closer closer closer

You want heaven
Then come through hell

My lipstick tastes like a warning sign
Cherry red with a little poison edge
You want soft but I came with spark
A silk black kiss on a broken ledge

The bass guitar drags across your spine
Like a hand that knows exactly where to go
Then the saxophone bends till the room goes blind
And the violin cuts like a gold tipped bow

I got glitter on my teeth tonight
And thunder hiding in my hips
I can bless your name with one slow look
Then ruin your sleep with one small twist

You say don′t stop
I say don't blink
You say what are you
I say drink

Hold your breath
Don′t speak yet
I can make your logic sweat

Reverse heartbeat
Twisted grin
If you want that chaos
Let me in

Bite the light
Bite it slow
Kiss the danger
Steal the glow

Shake your body
Lose control
I want fire
In your soul

Bite the light
Taste the night
Love gets strange
When it feels this right

Hands up high
Crowd ignite
I'm the fever
You feel tonight

I got strange sounds in my bloodstream
Little ghosts in a pop dream
Violin praying in neon rain
Sax so dirty it melts your name

If you came for normal
Wrong girl baby
If you came for safe love
Too late baby

I want the scream
Before the kiss
I want the drop
After the bliss

I want the crowd
With hands in the sky
I want your halo
Bent sideways tonight

Touch me
Twist me
Spin me
Lift me

Breathe in
Fall deep
No sleep
No sleep

Hey
Hey
Hey

Bite the light
Bite it slow
Kiss the danger
Steal the glow

Shake your body
Lose control
I want fire
In your soul

Bite the light
Taste the night
Love gets strange
When it feels this right

Hands up high
Crowd ignite
I′m the fever
You feel tonight

Bite the light
Break the frame
Call me wicked
Say my name

Violin burns
Saxophone cries
I'm the storm
Behind your eyes

Bite the light
Stay strange
Stay with me
