[Verse 1]
Rust on my tongue
Teeth full of thunder
Bite down the scream
Let my bones wonder
Cold in the mirror
Eyes like empty glass
Fingerprints of yesterday
Clawing at the glass
[Chorus]
Cut me out of this skin
I’m crawling
Veins of velvet glass
I’m falling
If I can’t feel
Then what am I?
Drown me in the dark
Let me stay alive
Let me stay alive
[Verse 2]
Sleep in the sink
Face under water
Clock hands tremble
Like they know I’m slaughtered
Laugh in a whisper
Bruise in a dress
Pretty little carcass
Posing as “I’m blessed” (yeah)
[Chorus]
Cut me out of this skin
I’m crawling
Veins of velvet glass
I’m falling
If I can’t feel
Then what am I?
Drown me in the dark
Let me stay alive
Let me stay alive
[Bridge]
[Ambient break
Distant horror synth and solo violin]
Halo made of needles
Crown it on my head
I need the ache to answer
Tell me I’m not dead (not dead)
[Chorus]
Cut me out of this skin
I’m crawling
Veins of velvet glass
I’m falling
If I can’t feel
Then what am I?
Drown me in the dark
Let me stay alive
Let me
Let me stay alive
