[Verse 1]
I keep the keys in my fist
I keep the smoke in my throat
I say I’m fine, then I slip
Right where the bad luck goes
I wear my bruises like gold
I wear my grin like a mask
I built a home out of holes
And I keep walking it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t ask me why
I never stay
I pull the spark
Then burn away
[Chorus]
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
I take the flame, I take the blame
Then I run right back for more
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
I break my name, I taste the pain
Then I come back for more
[Verse 2]
I make a vow in the dark
Then I tear it apart by dawn
I know the shape of my heart
It likes the things that go wrong
You catch me reaching for grace
I’m already back in the mud
There’s no clean hands in this place
Only a pulse and a grudge
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t ask me why
I never stay
I pull the spark
Then burn away
[Chorus]
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
I take the flame, I take the blame
Then I run right back for more
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
I break my name, I taste the pain
Then I come back for more
[Bridge]
If you see me split in two
That’s the part that wants to lose
That’s the part that still wants you
That’s the part I can’t refuse
[Final Chorus]
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
I take the flame, I take the blame
Then I run right back for more
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
I break my name, I taste the pain
Then I come back for more
I’m a fighter, I’m a liar
I’m a victim of my desires
