Lyrics
Twisted Mess
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first kiss you planted to my face
The second twist tonight, a fate
And somehow the taste of fear
Took up all the space in here (more or less)
I pick a way out in the twisted mess (more or less)
Disintegrated, strategically impressed (more or less)
No longer residents at the new address (more or less)
Scratch me like a perfume ad
Recycle all the plans we had (more or less)
Whenever I fake (more or less)
Whoever I take (more or less)
However it breaks (more or less)
Someone's gonna fall
I sense a grain of stress (more or less)
Hurting you more or less (more or less)
I pick up this twisted mess (more or less)
Like sinking ships dragged into abyss
Just slammin in simpleness
Wherever I take the night
Keeping it eye to eye
Just slammin with tastiness (more or less)
I pick a way out in the twisted mess (more or less)
Disintegrated, strategically digress (more or less)
No longer residents at your own address (more or less)
Watch me like a prison guard
Swipe me like a credit card (more or less)
Whenever I fake (more or less)
Whoever I take (more or less)
However it breaks (more or less)
Someone's gonna fall (more or less)
I sense a grain of stress (more or less)
Hurting you more or less (more or less)
I pick up this twisted mess (more or less)
(More or less, more or less)
Take me, shake me, knock me with
A million ways that we relate
We both come to suffocate
To make it through the night today (more or less)
Count the days strategically (more or less)
Creeping to believe in me (more or less)
Who to blame and who will be (more or less)
Make it through an irony (more or less)
Whenever I fake (more or less)
Whoever I take (more or less)
However it breaks (more or less)
Someone's gonna fall (more or less)
I sense a grain of stress (more or less)
Hurting you more or less (more or less)
I pick up this twisted mess (more or less)
(More or less)
