Sever your relation to Those who are dependent on Breathing the obvious in It only turns your lips blue Turns your lips blue Unfastens inspiration from your throat From your throat No one around, so you Slash pretty skin You told me they drove You to it How many times do I have to turn the switch To warn you about jumping in the back of the cars Jumping in the back of the cars Jumping in the back They cut the tendon So you'd be Too wasted to hold it all No one around, so you Slash pretty skin You told me they drove You to it How many times have you woken up in a stranger’s arms Covered in the gasoline as they hover above you With the match they ignite With the match they ignite With the match they ignite

Kisses are never safe When residue of old love is left How could I feel lesser when someone better walks around? Waiting for you to call out As your cold hand grasps mine, I feel unright and privileged to see The same chemical as stars Deformed fingers leave trails of hearts in writing Could three words be the end to birth's only meaning? Crying to sleep is my remedy Urgently trying to stand on broken confused legs (Confused legs) Am I looking for reasons not to be happy? Emotions catch up with me, but I'm too fast for them Emotions catch up with me, but I'm too fast for them Emotions catch up with me, but I'm too fast for them

Thought that I would shove everything aside To shake your hand Barbed wire wouldn't come fast enough Why does your name leave a bad taste in my mouth When it rolls off my tongue? In your world, excuses mean everything Stitch me for days because I keep splitting myself for, self for you Why does your face seem better on the floor? Have you thought about death today? Ask me, I'll help I keep splitting myself for You never knew me These are my last words Not that it matters anymore
