[Verse]
Your lipstick's a knife
Your eyes like a noose
You carve out the truth
Then tie it up loose
I built this cage
I made it gold
But it’s rusting now
And it’s growing cold
[Chorus]
You can’t leave
You can’t leave
I’m the breath you can’t retrieve
You can’t go
You can’t go
I’m the poison in your soul
Chains of us
Chains of us
We’re bound in venom
Not in trust
[Verse 2]
You scream like the wind
I whisper like smoke
Our love’s a fire that’s dying in choke
I hold the match
You hold the blade
We dance in the ashes of the mess we made
[Prechorus]
We’re broken
But it feels like art
We’re shattered
But it beats my heart
[Chorus]
You can’t leave
You can’t leave
I’m the breath you can’t retrieve
You can’t go
You can’t go
I’m the poison in your soul
Chains of us
Chains of us
We’re bound in venom
Not in trust
[Bridge]
We’re magnets pulling and pushing away
A hurricane of words we’ll never say
I’m your anchor
You’re my stone
Together drowning
Never alone
