Lyrics
This little runaway, against the golden cusp She screams words of distrust to tease me As the motor turns to thrust Her skin the tone of rust, her eyes burning with lust

Pray in disbelief, this day be done Little switchblade sister, dreaming of guns Your courage; a disease, it's strengthening me Oh, I'll pull the trigger, hun Oh girl, and watch it blow up

All this, I have wanted and more While I live in the blame I wish the past could come take it back, so I can start it all over All this, I have pushed to endure Just to find out, it's breaking me Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions: Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?

This burden's mine alone This world will never know, as I live with it in tow

All this, I have wanted and more While I live in the blame I wish the past would come take it back, so I can start it all over All this, I have pushed to endure Just to find out, it's breaking me Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions: Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?

Oh, I need a break from these random reality shifts and mood swings

All good boys run home to mommy, but you're not afraid no more Go in through the front door, and give 'em hell, buddy All good boys run home to mommy, but you're not afraid no more Go in through the front door, and give 'em hell, buddy

Oh, I think I've made a mess I've made a mess

All this, I have wanted and more But while I live in the blame I wish the past would come take it back, so I can start it all over All this, I have pushed to endure Just to find out, it's breaking me Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions

I can't find the answers to this life I can't find the answers to...

I don't think there, or anyone there is just nothing I don't think there, or anyone there is just nothing

Hold onto what you have, never let go Find out what happens in the truth low below

Oh, I think I've made a mess I've made a mess
