They slit our throats
Like we were flowers
And our milk has been devoured

When you want it, goes away too fast
Times you hate it, always seems to last
Just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me

And I, I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day
And I, I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day

And I wish I could sleep
But I can't lay on my back
Because there's a knife
For everyday that I've known you

When you want it, goes away too fast
Times you hate it, always seems to last
Just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me

And I, I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day
And I, I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day

Lie to me, cry to me, give to me, I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me, I would

Keep all your secrets
Wrapped in dead hair, for always
Keep all your secrets
Wrapped in dead hair, for always

Lie to me, cry to me, give to me, I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me, I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me, I would

Hope that we die holding hands, for always
Hope that we die holding hands, for always
Hope that we die holding hands
