lyrics

In a little while, she will call you back.
And what you thought you had before, will fade to black.
But still, she'll tell you things, to make you believe
That this fucked up world, is yours to seize.
So you seize every day.

And each time you close your eyes to sleep
You dream yourself an amputee.
Each time you close your eyes to sleep
You watch your core retreat.

When she takes a breath, and her bosom grows.
And your blood flows hard, 'til you lose control.
And it throbs and burns like a fever, that you can never cool.
You both play the game. But, she makes the rules.
And she can break them, too.

And each time you close your eyes to sleep
You dream yourself an amputee.
Each time you close your eyes to sleep
You watch your core retreat.

In a little while, she will bare her teeth.
And she'll crown your head with a thorny wreath.
And she'll call it "grace."
Then she'll bend you, she'll break you.
She knows how to make you return every time.
Cause she's put all her faith in you losing your mind
'til it's hers to manipulate.
Realize, you're just the bait.

And give up!
Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose.

Give up pretending you're okay
Give up searching for lives to save
All of your roads are paved in tar
And there's not a star in your sky
She's breaking you down in her bile
Confusing her fangs for a smile
And she bites, and she spits, and she chews
And you lose

Give up
what you threw away wasn't yours to lose.
